1964 : Yankee Tidbits from Dog Days by Philip Bashe
Photo by Rubenstein Dog Days : The Yankees fall from Grace and Return to Glory - 1964-1976 By Philip Bashe, the 1994 novel is not only one of the best sports book I have ever read, for me, it’s one of the best books period. Maybe a time Yankee fans would like to forget, the people behind the unraveling provide just as human a story as all the glory that proceeded. That said, Bashe does a masterful job conveying anecdotals and keeps you wanting more. So I just wanted to provide some tidbits and here is my first installment. 1965 will be next.

My Thoughts About the Rangers Latest Acquisitions
The 2024 Winter Meetings in Dallas, TX have been busy. If you aren't familiar with Winter Meetings, it's an opportunity for all 30 Major League Baseball teams to bolster their rosters by trading and signing players. The biggest headline during this offseason was Juan Soto recently signing with the New York Mets. His record-breaking contract has since caused controversy, with some calling it insane and others questioning his ability to make a significant impact with the Mets. I still believe that a salary cap needs to be put in place, because no athlete is worth $765 million or even $700 million, the amount currently being paid to Shohei Ohtani over the next 10 years. Seeking to be paid more isn't immoral but feeling that you're entitled of being paid nearly a billion dollars is selfish. I don't care what good intentions both the Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers organizations have.
