I believe we're just scratching the surface, no?

What about the souvenir slot machine that never wins, but pays out anyway (just not to any of the fans)?

El Duque - Good ones. And may I humbly add.

Find The Game Night

This Yankee home game honors the team's cable partners by not taking place in Yankee Stadium. Is it at Citi Field? Met Life? Somewhere else in Jersey? The Yale Bowl? Good luck finding it.


Soccer Ball Day

The first 10,000 kids 14 and under are given a tennis ball sized soccer ball sponsored by Arby's, "We've Got The Balls" to cross promote Hal's soccer ventures.

Old Timers Game

Responding to criticism about no longer having the Old Timers play a game the Yankees are bringing it back, with a twist. It's actually the regular game. They will just make sure DJ and Rizzo are starting.

The ceremony prior to the game will honor the Yankee medical staff including Stanton's Chiropractor, Stanton's Yoga Instructor, Judge's podiatrist, Rizzo's MRI tech, and six guys who perform Tommy John surgery from a van.

"...six guys who perform Tommy John surgery from a van."

Is that the Yankees' pitching development team?

LOVE it, Duque, love it, Doug! I'd go to some of those games...if I could find them.

Good, good post. Great post, actually.

"Bad Trade Day" - that's a winner.

And we old folks like to say that, "Every day is bad trade day in the Bronx."

Here's nice, loud Bronx cheer to "Fuckin' Brian" and Hairy Hal.
