    The Yankees have put together an unbelievable streak of magical wins, but is Yankee Stadium and its short right field porch New York’s “magic wand?” Can sitting back and waiting for a solo HR really translate to October success?

    Thanks in advance! I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Take care.

    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.

    Cody Ransom has become a running joke in Yankee communities across the US in chat rooms, Twitter, blogs, message boards, etc.

    His “bromance” with manager Joe Girardi has emphasized this fan disdain, and I have created a Top 10 list of unknown Ransom “facts” in this banter’s honor.

    Thanks in advance! I hope you enjoy it, and I would love to hear your feedback.

    Hey Chris,


    Decided to start doing weekly MLB Power Rankings. If you get the chance, I'd like it if you took a look. Thanks.
