Way to go Joe!

All 3 well deserved.  I can still remember sitting in  old DC (RFK) Stadium on a Sunday in July  (Doubleheader mind you.....buck more than a regular game) and watching Number 14 play 3rd, hitting his .230-.240.

I remember staring at that number and thinking it deserved a much better player to inhabite that uniform.  Of course, this was also the last year of the Mick.


This was during a transition that I know would have taken 50 years, if not for the fact in 1972 Mr. George Steinbrenner rescued the yankees from themselves and in the process helped to show baseball how to market itself.

Mr. Steinbrenner belongs in the HOF.
