About Heartbeat of the Bronx »

Hello everyone, my name is Stephen Meyer. I am a very passionate Yankees fan who lives and breathes baseball twelve months out of the year. I tend to ride an emotional rollercoaster from April-October with steeper rises and falls than Six Flags. Don Mattingly was my childhood hero, and the Bronx has always been my second home.

Heartbeat of the Bronx is a blog dedicated to all things associated with the NY Yankees. It will discuss rumors, news, injuries, trades, statistical analysis and more. This blog will defend and support the Yankees whenever warranted, but is also absolutely not afraid to criticize and voice disapproval. Like the great George Steinbrenner, Heartbeat of the Bronx will say whatever is on its mind.

I am a monthly contributor to Sports Byline USA and its weekend radio program Sports Overnight America w/ host Patrick Mauro (http://www.sportsbyline.com/bios/mauro.htm)

Come visit my blogspot @ http://heartbeatofthebronx.blogspot.com/

I finally succumbed to the Twitter craze: http://twitter.com/HeartbeatBronx

Also, feel free to contact me for any reason at StephenLouisMeyer@gmail.com

Finally, I would like to thank all of my readers for their continued support. You helped me receive Bleacher Report's Pick of the Day for May 5, 2009, May 16, 2009, May 17, 2009, July 11, 2009, July 17, 2009, July 20, 2009, August 5, 2009, and August 10, 2009.

All Time Sports Moment

Most Memorable Game Attended

2008 MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium & Final game ever played at Yankee Stadium
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cy Young's 511 wins...hands down
Ruth or Mays?

714 homers in a dead ball era, when he hit more homers than TEAMS in some seasons...incredible average hitter considering his power, but no integration in baseball yet...is pitching included? Ruth...without pitching it's as close as they come because of Mays' defense/God-like arm/speed
Unitas or Montana?

Montana...although it must have been nice having Jerry Rice as a sidekick
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan...haven't you seen Space Jam?
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky....but hockey? really?
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras...i grew up with Agassi & Sampras and am a Nadal fan...you do the math
Tiger or Nicklaus?

I love the Golden Bear...but Tiger is a God
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt...RIP
Schumacher or Senna?

Definitely Schumacher
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I'm a Big 10 guy...but it's all about the Big East in NCAAB and SEC in NCAAF
