The Yankees have not appeared in the World Series since winning their 27th championship in 2009. There has been one change in 14 seasons under Hal Steinnbrenner, with Boone replacing Joe Girardi after the 2017 season. New York changed managers 21 times in 36 seasons while George Steinbrener was controlling owner from 1973-2008. “But you’ve got to give it to the Astros,” Steinbrenner added. We had a lot of good ups, we had some downs, we had some injuries like everybody else.”
“Any time we don’t win a championship, it’s a disappointing year. “We didn’t get the job done … it’s time to get it done,” Steinbrenner said. But hampered by injuries, the Yankees went 38-40 the rest of the way.Ĭleveland extended the Division Series to five games before New York was swept in four games by Houston in the AL Championship Series. In his fifth season as manager, New York sprinted to a 61-23 record in early July, sparking comparison with the 1998 champion Yankees. “I don’t see a change there.”īoone agreed last October to a three-year deal with a team option for 2025. “As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager,” Steinbrenner said as he left the Yankees player development complex. TAMPA, Fla, - Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner plans to keep Aaron Boone as his manager. Everyone knows that foam fingers are cooler than foam claws. Hey, Edwin Jackson! Can I have an autograph?Īs soon as this picture was taken Jackson was traded three more times for reasons that are unclear.īack inside where one learns that, even in spring training, major league prices reign supreme: I used to make fun of my dad for being so obsessive about his lawn that he’d go pick specks out of it. In other news, I’d like to hire these guys to do my yard work: I’ll say more about it when I’m there next week, but I like Maryvale and I don’t care if it’s in a neighborhood a lot of folks don’t like to go to. At least if you consider Maryvale old school. The wheel goes round and round and each time it stops another old school spring training park goes down. The Brewers, rumor has it, will then move into the A’s place at Phoenix Municipal. The Cubs are abandoning it for new digs next year. By the way: that guy in front of me is Eric Stephen of True Blue LA.
Think I’m going to go camp out in the sun someplace and enjoy the game like God and Nature intended.
This would be my view of the game if I sat up here for it: This kept me from (a) getting into the clubhouse when the players were just hanging out and (b) kept me from getting a good seat in the press box. Today was sort of a lost day as far as real baseball reporter-like activity goes, as I wasn’t able to get to the park at my usual 8 AM arrival time. On to Hohokam Park to check out the Dodgers and Cubs. I was kinda good in that I got some veggie breakfast burrito and didn’t eat all of the tortilla, but yeah, I’m probably gonna die in this place at some point over the next ten days. This place makes pancakes with bacon-infused batter. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that, on doctor’s orders, I’ve gone on a mostly carb-free diet. On to my hotel in Tempe to drop off my stuff and then grab some food at a little diner: I landed in Phoenix just before 9:30 AM Mountain time, took the seemingly interminable bus ride to the rental car place and was met with an opportunity to see if NBC really appreciates me:
