People still talk about the Black Sox 101 years later. They still talk about Pete Rose 31 years after the fact. They're still talking about steroids 15 years after "Juiced" came out. The idea people think this Astros story will just go away after a couple months is adorable.

Just had an Uber driver who was a massive Dodgers fan. Had on my Yankees cap so we started talking baseball. Man... and you thought Yankees fans were pissed. When this dude started going off on the Astros and Sox I thought he was gonna drive us off the side of a cliff.

The New York Yankees took care of my Uncle Mike Donnelly when he got home from Vietnam, then brought him onto the field with his new legs about three years ago. He passed today. And I know - I KNOW - nothing made him happier than what the @Yankees did. So, thank you. From us.

With the new Italian influx on the #Yankees I can see it now: a LF area like the "Judge's Chambers" called the "Social Club". Cinzano umbrellas, a bocce court and an espresso bar. Maybe a guy playing accordion. They give out Sergio Tacchini track suits to wear. Marketing 101.
