BC has been allowed to keep this organization totally analytically driven. Thst itself has really weakened the big league club. Most other clubs for a few years now had started to put the human element back into their equation. Hopefully this Casey hiring works, simply because that would definitely lessen the hold analytics has on this mess.


But to me, i have like 7 different other things that need to be changed, the biggest issues are the medical-based ones.

Paul as usual you make your case. All Hal cares about are that the Yanks are first in attendance. Yankee tradition is no longer as the patches on the uniforms attest to. World Series or bust are just words. Don’t believe anything will change as long as fans keep coming. If Hal would sell the team to someone who really wants to bring championships to the Bronx, true Yankee fans can only hope for. Don’t think that is going to happen. If the fans really want change then they will have to stay away from attending games and not buy or support anything Yankees. Don’t see another way!

I agree 100% with Andy. The only statistic that Steinbrenner cares abut is attendance. I'm sure he has a spread sheet somewhere that tells him how much money to spend to achieve optimal profit. Speaking of tradition, one of my peeves is the loss of the Auxiliary scoreboards. In my mind they were as much of part of Yankee Stadium as the frieze that surrounds the ballpark. Specifically, I am thinking of the photo of the last pitch of Larsen's perfect game.

I believe it was there in the new stadium but has been replaced, like so much there, with ads.

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"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

The Least Among Them.png

"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

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"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."
