About Myke »

Myke Furhman is a producer for CBS Sports Interactive who also does on-camera analysis of all things sports. An avid Red Sox fan, Furhman grew up in Connecticut right in the middle of the Yankee rivalry, and was one of the few Sox fans in the area. Same with the Patriots, he was a lone fan as everyone else was wearing Giants blue or Jets green.

Myke now lives in LA working for CBS out of the Television city.

The Yankees have made the playoffs 14 out of the last 15 years. The only reason that this has occurred is because they outspend everyone else...

Hey Myke,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!
