#Mickey Mantle

Joc Pederson has enjoyed a successful MLB career, considering he was drafted in the 11th round of the 2010 MLB Draft. Since then, the slugging outfielder has won two World Series titles, while also receiving two selections to the All-Star team. "Mickey Mantle has the most home runs in WS history with 18. Here are the top 5 active players in HRs in…

Welcome to NHL 99, The Athletic's countdown of the best 100 players in modern NHL history. We're ranking 100 players but calling it 99 because we all know who's No. 1 - it's the 99 spots behind No. 99 we have to figure out. Every Monday through Saturday until February we'll unveil new members of the list. Brett Hull was just 21 years old and coming…

The New York Yankees and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge agreed to terms on a nine-year, $360 million deal Wednesday morning. There's fallout all over the place, but one aspect -- a strong one -- is the likelihood that Judge will end up being a career Yankee. In this day and age, that's pretty rare. Given that Judge just set the single-season team…

The New York Yankees are one of the most iconic teams in Major League Baseball and the most successful professional baseball team in the world. The Yankees have a long and storied history of success, having won 27 World Series championships, 40 American League pennants, and numerous division and wild card titles. They are known for their…

Yankees legend Yogi Berra passed away in 2015, but on Opening Day, we can't help but think of the great catcher and manager. An 18-time All-Star, Berra appeared in 14 World Series as a member of the Yankees and won 10 of them. Berra's contributions to MLB history are incalculable, but his legacy might be even better remembered for what he…

Post columnist Steve Serby catches up with Yankees catcher Jose Trevino to take a swing at some Q&A. Q: How close were you to quitting baseball when your late father Joe was ill? A: I was coming home, I was ready to come home. I was gonna try to support my family. It was me and my mom, I talked to my mom and my mom was like, "No, you're not doing…

The Bronx Bombers are at full force and the pitching has been outstanding. Are the New York Yankees now the favorites to win the World Series? The ghosts of Yankees past are hard to miss in the Bronx, from Monument Park in center field to the 27 championship flags flying from the facade. Legendary names such as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle…

On the way to winning his third American League MVP last year, Mike Trout seemingly did something you wouldn't think possible - he got better. Now, the challenge for the Angels is to do the same. They believe they made a big step in that direction with the hiring of Joe Maddon as manager. He replaces Brad Ausmus, who served as a one-year bridge…

It's hard to think about what to say in a post like this. What haven't we already said about Aaron Judge, fresh off the best non-Barry Bonds season in my lifetime, and also fresh off another disappointing end to the season? He hit 62 home runs with an 1.111 OPS, an 11.4 fWAR season. He was in the 99th or 100th percentile in eight Statcast hitting…

There was a time when betting on baseball was the Cardinal Sin. From the early days of the game, back before the major leagues were a dream, gambling was a black mark. Thomas Devyr, Ed Duffy, and William Wansley of the New York Mutuals were exiled in 1865, although all three were eventually reinstated. The Chicago Black Sox, Cincinnati Reds legend…

And this is the year it gives. Has to be, right? NASCAR unveiled this current championship format in 2014. We have a "final four" reaching the season finale to decide the championship among themselves, while also racing against all the others. Coincidentally or not, over these past eight seasons, one of those four eligible racers has won the final…

Some of my best friends are Yankee fans. Indeed, my cousin Steve is one. When we were kids, we could argue all day long about who was better, Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays. I was a Giants fan, still am when they win the pennant. The Giants, of course, left New York in 1958 and eventually traded Willie Mays. I sort of root for the Red Sox now, but my…

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has signed on with MaximBet in a. Meanwhile, baseball's lifetime ban on Pete Rose for betting grows more ridiculous daily. You could have once probably gotten 1000000-1 odds that someday a professional baseball player would endorse a legal sportsbook and casino while still in uniform with the blessing of…

NEW YORK - Five straight times, after the Yankees have either fallen just short or well short of a World Series, Aaron Judge has left the season saying the same thing. Remember this feeling, use it as fuel to come back stronger next year. Only, there might not be a next year in pinstripes for Judge this time. He's weeks away from free agency, and…

TWO WEEKS AFTER New Year's, there was a bidding war over a baseball card at collectibles marketplace Goldin. Bidding opened at $30000 and rose to $101000 by the next day, accruing 14 bids by midnight.

Aaron Judge took the biggest bet when he declined a long-term contract from the New York Yankees earlier this year's free agency. At first, when the Yankees slugger rejected the contract, it seemed like he had made a mistake. Notably, the Pinstripes had offered him a seven-year contract worth $213.5 million during the 2022 off-season. And to refuse…

Saturday is that rarest of days in Pittsburgh: A time when baseball can legitimately be celebrated, as opposed to convincing ourselves that it's OK to rarely make contact with the ball as long as it travels over 110 mph when you do, even if it's caught. Not only is it OK, but we are "witnessing things never before seen," as a fanboy blogger…
