i'll never understand why they treat scott brosius like honus wagner

They treat him like he was better than Joe Randa at least.

[mabrowndog]

They just played the audio of Ruth recalling his "Called Shot", which (A) was a complete fabrication, and (B) allegedly took place when Ruth homered in Chicago against the Cubs.

Well done, Yankee historians.

[sachmoney]

Um. Didn't the MFYs lose the 2001 Seires?

They did indeed.

[MaydayMalone16]

Abreu and Matsui are Yankee legends? Jesse Barfield is too?

[Drew7]

anyone know why matsui was featured in the "some of them coudn't be here tonight" video that they played. where the fuck is he?

[johnmd20]

O Neill to. . . .Abreu? That's a mock of O Neill, Bobby has been in NY for a cup of coffee. Embarrassing.

[amh03]

The Dead Player Actors are still in center field...whew!

[mt8thsw9th]

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Randy Maris, and his band Sexual Chocolate

[mabrowndog]

Unreal. Letting Maris's kid dress up in a fucking uniform? They guy's a grown man. Has he no pride??

We all know anything historic related to the Yankees took place at Yankee Stadium...c'mon, you know that!

[MidnightC]

This is seriously the best they could do with all the months of planning they had?

[kartvelo]

Er.... why would Maris' son be dressed in a MFY uniform?

[RedOctober3829]

The son of Maris dressing in full uniform is highly comical.....

I think someone held up a crudely put together drawing on lined paper of where he is tonight. I didn't catch it, though.

[amh03]

Reggie Jackson is Mr. Grouchy Pants...he yelled at me when I tried to get an autograph for a friend...

[mabrowndog]

This production has no drama whatsoever. The intros are too drawn out, followed by lame-ass organ music.

[JulE6]

the yankee special event staff is taking one on the chin tonight big time

[MaydayMalone16]

Unreal. Letting Maris's kid dress up in a fucking uniform? They guy's a grown man. Has he no pride??

At least he is actually the son of Maris, and not some actor they are paying. I have no problem with it...

Anyone know if Fat Roger's going to be the big surprise? Will he be standing in George's box?

Or are they going to have one of his kids wear his uniform with a pillow above his waist?

[RedOctober3829]

Paul O'Neill is a Yankee God.

[strek1]

Scott Brosius is like one of the worst 3Bman ever. Seriously.

But he'll be loved longer and better than AROD ever will. Funny what some clutch hits in the Post Season will do.

And a needle out of his ass.

[JulE6]

UPDATE, 7:28 p.m: When A-Rod was shown on the scoreboard in a video montage of great third basemen, people booed.

[amh03]

What's REALLY fun is that they leave this building tonight and have to go on a tour of irrelevant games elsewhere.

[MaydayMalone16]

Now Chuck Knoblauch, Alfonso Soriano and Robinson Cano are Yankee legends. Apparently Shane Spencer and Kevin Maas somehow didn't make the cut.

[mabrowndog]

That's Billy Martin's kid?

Huh. He doesn't look drunk.

[JulE6]

does robinson cano qualify as a yankee legend 2b?

[johnmd20]

But he'll be loved longer and better than AROD ever will. Funny what some clutch hits in the Post Season will do.

Truth is, though, you can't really picture ARod hitting a 2 out, game tying homer in the 9th inning of a strat o matic game, let alone a real live World Series game.

[mt8thsw9th]

Why is there a car and a small engine plane parked in the outfield?

edit- Ah, that's probably for Martin and Munson

Why no Dan Pasqua love?

[kartvelo]

I guess the "kids'" uniforms are a different color.

[BoSox Rule]

They really throw the term "legend" around loosely over there in the Bronx. If I was a betting man I'd say the big surprise will be them retiring Danny Tartabull's number.

[johnmd20]

Willie's slide is the best moment of the night.

[RedOctober3829]

Willie: "At least my old team is going to the playoffs"

[mabrowndog]

Alright, Randolph just gave the fans the best moment of the night.

[MaydayMalone16]

I hope they show Hideki Irabu and Carl Pavano as Yankee legend pitchers...

[mt8thsw9th]

Have we ever found out the big secret reason Clemens had for signing with them last year? I hope it's that.

[mabrowndog]

They're reflective of the faded wool that used to be worn by their fathers when they played, not the polyester blends worn since the 70s.

[mt8thsw9th]

Not if the bullpen is allowed to pitch again.

[sachmoney]

I think they dug up Ruth and Gehrig...that's the big surprise.

[RedOctober3829]

And now for the big surprise....they are going to blow up the building with the people still in it.

[MaydayMalone16]

They're reflective of the faded wool that used to be worn by their fathers when they played, not the polyester blends worn since the 70s.

Anyone wearing the cotton of the brief Costanza era?

[redsoxedmunds24]

When do they retire Sidney Ponson's #?

I hate Joba

[mabrowndog]

The Yankees pretty much reduced this night to a bastardized version of Old Timers' Day.

It's sad and pathetic.

[BoSox Rule]

Joe Girardi. Legend.

Maybe in his own mind...

The guy was worse than Mirabelli for Christ's sake

This part is cool. I like Yogi.

what is this, amateur hour?
