#Yogi Berra

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 1982 Royals, coming off two consecutive playoff appearances, were starting to age. Six position players who saw action in at least 120 games, and all four starting pitchers, were over the age of 30. The Royals served a lot of coffee in 1982 and these were the players who got it. I'm always a bit fascinated by the stories of players who appear…

The Giants began the 2021 season with little fanfare in a division that was supposed to be dominated by behemoths in Los Angeles and San Diego. All manager Gabe Kapler's team did was obliterate every projection system, win a franchise-record 107 games and stop the Dodgers' eight-year streak of NL West titles - and because the Dodgers won 106 games,…

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…

Zippy Chippy, the hugely popular gelding who earned national celebrity for his career record of zero wins in 100 starts, died on April 15. Steve Dennis pays tribute to an equine legend - of sorts A wise man once said that it wasn't about the winning, but the taking part. That was the mantra that Zippy Chippy lived by, that his life was reckoned by,…

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…

61 years. Roger Maris has held on to the American League record for most home runs in a season for 61 years. During that time, 12 U.S. presidents have taken office. 21 teams have been added to the National Basketball Association. Companies such as Microsoft, Apple and Amazon have taken the world by storm. '61. Maris etched his name into the MLB…

CHICAGO - It may have been Yogi Berra who is credited with uttering the phrase, "It ain't over till it's over," but it was Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks who emphasized that saying when asked on Tuesday about the legacy of Tony La Russa on the south side of Chicago. La Russa has not been the team's active manager since health concerns…
