About Joseph »

Hello, my name is Joseph Jove and I am truly a New York Yankee fan in every sense of the word. I became a Yankee fan back in 1976 when Chris Chambliss hit a walk off home run in the post season. Thousands of fans rushed the field, Chris was still running around the bases while the fans tried to rip parts of his uniform off. The famous Howard Cosell was giving the play by play on television. Ever since that night I was hooked to Yankee baseball.

I have not written any place before other than in high school on the blackboard one thousand times " I shall not shoot spitballs at my classmates". No, but really, I never would have thought that writing was so much fun and fulfilling. I do my best work writing on my laptop behind the wheel on the highway, while drinking hot coffee and talking on the cell phone, speeding well over 85 miles an hour going absolutely no where.

I enjoy drinking unpasteurized milk, writing graffiti inside of the confession booth and sky diving at night in my birthday suit. I don't lobby my articles on other people's notepads and some of my best work was deleted I believe unfairly.

Other than that last part, I really enjoy writing for the Beacher Report. Hope you find one or two articles that either makes you say hmmmmm or makes you laugh. Thank you for your visit. Later.

Thanks to BR, I recently interviewed Knicks legend Earl Monroe. Here is what he had to say on a variety of topics, including the current state of the Knicks!

The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.

There has always been a connection between religion and sports, and Major League Baseball has certainly not been the exception to the rule.

Check out the All-Catholic lineup…the best Catholic names (by position) in MLB history.

A-Rod’s 2009 salary is $33 million. What is the best team (9 hitter lineup with DH, 5 SPs, 1 RP, and a CL) you could create using only his salary as a budget, and no more than 5 players allowed to be making less than $1 million? You would be surprised…

Hey Joseph,

The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”

Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

Thanks everyone!

Hey,

Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.

Hey,

It’s been a very long time since I have extended an article of mine to the Bulletin Boards of my friends/fans, but this one is filled with the true venom and passion of a frustrated Yankees fan. The days of consistent success are over, and this baseball lifer is blaming Brian Cashman. Read how he has displayed the baseball knowledge of a little leaguer in assembling Yankee teams of the last 7 years.

I would love to hear your feedback on this one. Thanks everyone!

Hey,

The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.
