On April 14, 1910, William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, made history, as he became the first US President to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. While attending Opening Day alongside his wife, Nellie, and Vice President James S. Sherman, the President threw the ball from the stands to Washington Senators […]
The 2000 New York Yankees were not a team of destiny like in 1998, or the well-oiled machine that dropped but a single playoff game en route to a title in 1999. They were a squad that needed help. Jockeying for position with the Red Sox and Blue Jays in a crowded AL East, the […]
The Yankees nearly lost a prime candidate for dumbest game of the year on Monday, but they managed to flip the script and end up on the winning end thanks to a game-tying Trent Grisham two-run shot in the ninth (his second bomb of the night) and a wild pitch that brought José Caballero home […]
It wasn’t the best week on the farm for the Yankees’ four affiliates, but it was the first full week of the season, during which all four affiliates got in six games. Nobody had a winning week, but all four levels had at least one player produce a standout performance, with several showing incredible progress […]
Boy, the Yankees didn’t make that one easy, did they? Future Hall of Famers Mike Trout and Aaron Judge seized the spotlight with two game-changing homers apiece, Trent Grisham provided heroics with a game-tying blast in the bottom of the ninth, and the Yankees walked it off on a wild pitch because why the hell […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After storming out to such a strong start to the season, the Yankees’ fortunes took an abrupt U-turn in the form of a five-game losing streak including getting swept by the Rays. The bullpen deserves its share of the blame, but the main culprit is a slumping offense. It has gotten […]
Mike Trout is a living legend of the game. His true prime ended before COVID-19 ravaged the world, due to a mountain of injuries costing not only him of accumulating the stats that would make him an inner-circle Hall of Famer, but robbing us fans of watching his greatness more. It makes it all the […]
There’s a lot of good and bad to the length of MLB’s 162-game season. On one hand, it can be long and arduous, making games at the beginning and end of the year feel much further apart. The season can feel endless if your team is down in the dumps. The benefits are that there’s […]
Oh, how different a week can make you feel. The Yankees’ fast start climbing to the top of the league with a 7-1 record has flipped on its head just as quick, as a five-game losing streak has torpedoed them down towards the rest of the pack in a hurry. While the team certainly was […]
Completing his strange trek from St. Louis to New York and back, Cade Winquest has been returned to the Cardinals after the Yankees designated him for assignment last week. The Yankees selected Winquest in the Rule 5 Draft last December, but the right-hander ultimately never made an appearance for the team. It was a surprise […]
This is not solely a piece to bash Jazz Chisholm Jr. I think he’s a very good player, and I am currently watching him relay signs while standing on second base, both to help his own hitters and mess with Rays’ starter Drew Rassmussen. I think he brings an energy to the club that they’ve […]
When the Yankees improved to 8-2 on the season with their comeback, series-opening win against the A’s last Tuesday, all was well in the world. There were problems with a shaky bullpen and an unproductive bottom of the order, but the team was winning, and that’s all that matters. But the thing is, over the […]
The nascent years of the Yankees franchise — then known as the New York Highlanders — were a veritable Wild West. Fortunes fluctuated frenetically as teammates, manager, and even owner clashed daily. The behavior of certain involved parties would make even the most controversial issues nowadays appear tame. Perhaps no player associated with the franchise […]
Sunday was the end of an awful weekend for the Yankees, who left their first series in Tropicana Field since 2024 winless. It might have been their worst series in St. Pete since the memorable sweep just before the 2016 Trade Deadline that finally convinced Hal Steinbrenner to give up on that year and approve […]
All is not well in Yankee-land. After taking their first three series on the strength of a stifling rotation, they’ve scuttled, dropping two of three to the Athletics before getting swept by the Rays. They’ll get the chance to rebound this week against an Angels squad that finished worst in the AL West last year […]

The good vibes that were emanating from the Yankees clubhouse have quickly dissipated. A sterling start has turned sour, a five-game losing streak bringing the Yankees to 8-7 after running an 8-2 record in their first ten games. We certainly shouldn’t be panicking, not so early in the season, and not considering literally every single […]
MLB.com | Nathan Maciborski: With young starter Cam Schlittler taking the mound on Sunday for the Yankees, MLB.com posted an article from this month’s Yankees Magazine featuring the right-hander, who has emerged as one of the game’s best young starters since making his debut last summer. While Schlittler’s Massachusetts upbringing and larger-than-life personality have been […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The third week of the season has seen the Yankees hit their first real snag of the season, as they dropped four of five games, including three straight, to cap off their first home stand of […]
Over the last several seasons, the Yankees have attempted a teambuilding approach that is less reliant on pure power and more resilient against the kinds of teams which have given them fits: speedy teams that put the ball in play and cover ground in the field. A team like, say, the Tampa Bay Rays. And […]
The first two games the Yankees played at Tropicana Field since the park’s reopening have proceeded quite…troppily, if you will. New York’s anemic offense was at least able to find a pair of go-ahead hits from José Caballero in yesterday’s 10-inning defeat, though the bullpen wasted little time coughing up the meager advantage to the […]
When T.S. Eliot wrote “April is the cruellest month,” he definitely wasn’t talking about baseball, but he might as well have been. April is the month when small sample size reigns supreme, convincing even the most hard-hearted fans that a long-awaited breakout is happening, only to leave them in shambles once May rolls around. In […]
When the Yankees famously purchased Babe Ruth from the Red Sox in 1919, there was always going to be someone who’s playing time was massively cut, if not erased at all. As it happens, that fate mostly fell on Sammy Vick. Vick’s career prior to Ruth’s acquisition wasn’t especially notable, and it wasn’t anything especially […]
Saturday’s game against the Rays was not pretty viewing for Yankees fans. The Yankees held two separate late leads against Tampa Bay, but couldn’t hold onto either. In the 10th inning, the Rays took advantage of the auto-runner and bunted the Yankees to death, eventually scoring twice in the frame to overtake the Yankees. With […]
The majority of the New York Yankees’ wins early in the 2026 season have come due to their outstanding pitching. Yes, the offense has had its fine moments, including averaging well over seven runs a game in a series win over the Marlins to kick off April, but for the most part, it’s been an […]
