Letter To The Iron Horse
09/10/2009
Lifetime Yankees fan transplanted to San Diego.
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.

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.

Thanks as always!

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,
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.

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,
Read about a metaphoric but also personalized tale about a cocky Yankees fan realizing the harsh realities and lessons of professional athletics. I would love to hear your opinions.

Hey,
The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.

Hey Jonnie,
Melky Cabrera hit a walk-off home run last night for the Yankees, but the score and the win paled in comparison to Brett Gardner’s remarkable story. Read how he brought a smile and hope to a sick little girl in NYC.

Hey Jonnie (you should like this one buddy),
Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Hey Jonnie,
In the wake of countless college graduations around the country, it is once again time for the Yankees to go through the GPA gauntlet. See if you agree with the Yankees strengths, weaknesses, and individual grading. I would love to hear your comments and feedback.

Hey Jonnie,
A-Rod has finally returned, and he wrote a script fit for the Oscars in his first at bat. It will take some time for him to get things going, however, and I’d like you to read why we can’t expect an instant encore.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback.

Jonnie does not have any awards.
You must register in order for that functionality to work!
i.e. San Francisco Giants, SEC Football, NFL, Golf

DeleteThe 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.
