Yankees Prospect George Lombard Jr. Moving Up the Ranks

The New York Yankees have made a significant move regarding their top prospect and the future of the organization. George Lombard Jr. was promoted to Double-A Somerset this week, setting up his career for the ultimate test and showcase.  It was only a matter of time until Lombard advanced further in the farm system.

Carlos Carrasco sticks with Yankees organization

Carrasco is still a solid strike-thrower and a highly respected veteran, so the Yankees would presumably be happy to keep him in the organization.

The crack of the bat and the sound of a goal horn make for the two most exciting postseasons in North America.

While the Major League Baseball season is still in its early stages and teams are jockeying for position within their respective divisions and leagues, two of the four major sports are undergoing their postseason runs. The National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association are both witnessing teams battle back and forth for...

2000 Yankees Diary, May 8: Pettitte outdoes Gooden

The Yankees had the upper hand in a matchup of current and former stars.

Coming off a series win over Baltimore, the 2000 Yankees opened up a three-game set with another division rival as the Devil Rays visited the Bronx. On a warm Monday night, we got an intriguing pitching matchup: on one side, Andy Pettitte, a left-hander in his prime trying to re-establish himself as one of the game’s best, and on the other Dwight Gooden, a fading former star trying wring a few more quality...

Rivalry Roundup: Valdez, Peña power Astros past Brewers

The Bombers walked off the Padres on a day when most of their rivals around the AL were also victorious.

Now that was one helluva series win! After the back-breaking loss to the Padres in the series opener, the Yankees fought back from deficits in each of the final two games to steal a series from the second-best team in baseball. I can’t think of better way to seal the series dub than an extra-innings walk-off for one of the best stories in...

For several minutes during Wednesday’s game against the Padres, the Bronx hosted a massive Knicks watch party.

For my brother and I, Yankee Stadium is basically our third home. First is, of course, our actual home, the place where we grew up. In second comes Villanova, where we both went to school and watched Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Donte DiVincenzo bring home a pair of championships.

Rolling into an offday.

The Yankees last night risked a repeat of their series in Baltimore last week: a dominant win in the second game of a three-game set sandwiched and overshadowed by frustrating losses on either end. Instead, they pulled out another rousing victory, with Trent Grisham delivering the game-tying blow and J.C. Escarra earning himself a wonderful moment with a walk-off sacrifice fly. New York enters an off-day with a 2.5-game lead in AL...

Yankees should be wary of Trent Grisham’s success

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham is playing like a superstar. If he keeps it up all year, he’ll be a hot commodity on the open market. However, the Bombers should be very careful when the time comes to consider bringing him back to the Bronx.

Yankees 4, Padres 3: Homer heroics continue, Bombers walk off in 10

An epic pitcher's duel, a pair of clutch home runs, and a walk-off sac fly from J.C. Escarra sealed a Yankees series victory.

The first two games of this series between the Yankees and Padres delivered the goods in the starting pitching department. The series finale, a duel between Max Fried and Dylan Cease, delivered on the top billing. Both pitchers matched wits with one run each, and Cease only allowed his first hit on a Cody Bellinger home run in the seventh. Both...

Two aces, one cruising and one scuffling, square off for a series victory in the Bronx.

The first two games of this Yankees-Padres series in the Bronx has featured some excellent starting pitching followed by not-so-excellent relief work. On Monday, a poor inning from Devin Williams and Luke Weaver allowed San Diego to overcome a brilliant Carlos Rodón start. Last night, the league-best Padres bullpen torpedoed Michael King's successful return...

Exploring legal recourse for Yankee fans

What hypothetical lawsuits can Yankee fans file for the pain and suffering recent years have brought?

America has a reputation as a litigious society. This reputation isn’t exactly undeserved. Take the recent example of a University of Colorado fan who filed a $100 million law suit against the NFL for the emotional distress caused by Shadeur Sanders slipping in last month’s NFL draft. This is obviously a ridiculous suit—the plaintiff would...
