Hey John,

There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Hey,

In 1996, The Yankees had a magical season that would end with a World Championship. In this article, I take a look at the first time I thought the season could be special, a game vs. the Seattle Mariners on May 14th, 1996 at Yankee Stadium, Dwight Gooden on the mound, the rest is history. Please take a look and comment as well. Thanks in advance

John-
I had so many comments and suggestions of baseball players that the community members root for, it inspired me to do a brief follow-up article. Please check it out when you have a chance.

Hey,

I think that its time for Joe Girardi to get his walking papers. I think the Yanks are better off with a new skipper. What do you think. Take a look at my latest article and comment on if you think Girardi should stay. Thanks in advance
