I'd bet the farm the Yankees don't hit 9 HRs today -- well, maybe the ant farm.

Caballero benched!!!

Wells gets every other day squat. Last year batted cleanup. Now bats 9th.

Goldy sits for steaming Rice.

Stanton rests his lower extremities. I guess rounding the bases twice yesterday did him in!

Dominguez gets a start.

Yankees still are a pitcher short (5:30 pm)

Over / Under: Yankee SBs, 2.5

NEVER thought I'd see Stanton as a late inning defensive replacement.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
