Dave Winfield Appeared In An 80's Ad For Toronto Tourism, Years Before Joining The Blue Jays
Dave Winfield only spent one season with the Blue Jays, but his role in helping Toronto win the 1992 World Series made him a legend in the eyes of Hogtownians. That wasn't always the case, though. After a 1983 incident in which Winfield killed a seagull during warmup tosses—an incident that earned...

We Have A Winner For The Dumbest Story Ever Written About Derek Jeter [NSFW?]
We asked you on Monday, after a particularly objectionable item ran in the New York Post, to write the dumbest story ever about Derek Jeter. You did not let us down. ...
Open Thread: Can You Write The Dumbest Story Ever About Derek Jeter?

The Dumbest Story Written About Derek Jeter (Post-3,000th-Hit Edition)
Really, Brian Lewis of the New York Post? This is an actual sentence that ran in a newspaper story after, say, 2004, and not something Tim McCarver said on air? OK:...
Wearing A Fish Bib And Singing An Italian Song Did Not Give Tommy Lasorda Or Lou Piniella A Heart Attack, TMZ Says
This was the scene Sunday evening at Bamonte's, an Italian restaurant in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn that's been open since 1900. Bamonte's is a wonderfully old-school red-sauce joint—try the stuffed peppers appetizer and the eggplant rollatini—and it's not uncommon there for a couple of ol...
The Market For Yankees Tickets Is Worse Than We Thought
Yesterday we brought you news of a spat between the Yankees and StubHub, "the official ticket reseller of Major League Baseball." The Yankees aren't drawing, and they can't even move their own unsold tickets because they're being undercut by StubHub. (As I write this, it's five hours before first pi...
Yankees Tickets Are A Dollar, Seats Are Empty, And They're Trying To Blame StubHub
I'm going to tell you something, and then I'm going to ask you a question. The Yankees are having attendance issues. They aren't selling enough tickets, and for the ones that are being sold, they're being undercut by StubHub, which offers them for well below face value. Now the question: do you feel...
An Idiot On The Field In Detroit Today Tried To High-Five Nick Swisher
The final out of today's Yankees-Tigers matchup at Comerica Park was delayed by a (fully-clothed) fan who took advantage of lax/slow/forgiving security and roamed around the field for close to a minute....
Was This (Presumably Yankees) Fan Announcing Plans To Divorce His Wife On-Camera At Last Night's Game?
Last night reader Ron alerted us to a bizarre moment during last night's Yankees-Angels game when a fan behind the New York dugout flips the bird to the camera, removes his wedding ring, then flips the bird again. We're presuming he's a Yankees fan because of his seat location and the fact that he...
Another Day, Another Umpire On A Power Trip
Today's petty tyrant is Laz Diaz, who worked home plate during last night's Yankees-Angels game in Anaheim. Diaz exchanged words with Yankee catcher Russell Martin over balls and strikes, which is a no-no on Martin's part. But according to Martin, Diaz responded in a unique and passive-aggressive wa...
Former Yankee Chad Curtis Arrested For Allegedly Touching Female High School Students Inappropriately
Chad Curtis, a former MLB outfielder who played for six teams and won the World Series as a member of the Yankees in 1998 and '99, was charged today with five counts of sexual misconduct in Grand Rapids, Mich....
This Nun In Field-Level Seats At Yankee Stadium Just Had To Take That Call On Her Flip Phone
After watching the video below, two thoughts immediately sprang to mind: Either God needs to upgrade his family plan, or the Angels really have to start giving their scouts better equipment....
Would The Steinbrenners Really Sell The Yankees?
Perhaps we ought to wonder about the merits of a bombshell story when it begins "rumors are flying." But that's the less-than-solid underpinning of the big Daily News report, which owns both front and back covers this morning, that claims the Steinbrenner family could be looking to sell the Yankees....
Here Is A Photo Of A-Rod, Cindy Crawford, And Cindy Crawford's Husband Looking Strange Together
Boom. There you go. We're required by P.R. law to tell you that this photo of "Alex Rodriquez" was taken at the NYC Launch of Caliche Rum hosted by Rande Gerber and Roberto Serrallés. "Guests were among the first to taste the smooth, modern spirit, which, due to being aged up to four years, has a un...
Yankee Fans Think The Team's Play Of Late Has Been For The Birds
The Yankees fell to .500 after being shut out by the Kansas City Royals in the Bronx last night, but that hasn't stopped some fans from insisting the Yanks are #1....
Andy Pettitte Makes First Start Since Retiring Before The Original Roger Clemens Perjury Trial
Earlier in the week, Jon Heyman wrote something silly about Andy Pettitte not being trustworthy anymore because he said something potentially helpful for Roger Clemens, while being cross-examined by Roger Clemens's lawyer. Never mind that that is kind of the point of cross examination, but why not ...
It Was "Anal Kid Time" At Yankee Stadium Tonight
Reader Tommy went to tonight's Rays-Yanks game in the Bronx tonight, and noticed the captioning board was advertising a very strange event. If you ask me, they're making baseball stadiums way too kid-friendly these days....
Lifelong Yankees Fan Tim Tebow Will Rename His Dog "Bronx"
Tim Tebow's dog used to be named Bronco. In fact, that's been his name for the past year and a half, since Tebow got him. But now Tebow plays for the New York Jets, so his name is going to be changed to "Bronx," for reasons that aren't yet entirely clear. Is it football season yet?...
What If Every Pitcher In Baseball Were Mariano Rivera?
Trying to compare Mariano Rivera to other pitchers is like trying to compare a photon to other sprinters. Out for out, the difference between him and Pedro Martinez is the difference between Pedro and a league-average player. He hasn't had a full season much better or worse than any other, but he's ...
Fans Are Not Permitted In The Fountains At Kauffman Stadium. This Fan Did Not Care.
When Humberto Quintero's home-run ball bounced over the heads of the fans in left-center yesterday afternoon, it wound up out of play for anyone hoping to snag a souvenir. But one audacious guy would not be deterred; he was unconcerned with fences, warning signs, or consequences of any sort. He kick...
