Writing about Josh Hamilton ’s 28-HR, first-round performance
in the 2008 MLB Home Run Derby would do
him a disservice. So, in respect for Hamilton, here is video footage of his final four record-breaking home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record with 24 first-round home runs.

Alex Rodriguez did his best Derek Jeter impersonation
Sunday with a flip play to help the Yankees
beat the Oakland A's. Of course, Jeter's came in a playoff game while A-Rod helped seal an otherwise routine July triumph.

Most of us, if put in Bobby Murcer's
place, would have curled up in the fetal position
and waited for the inevitable. Not Bobby. He hitched up his pinstripes and vowed to make every minute he had left count.
Today, Red Foley is up there in a
balcony seat next to his friend Bobby Murcer, and
Bobby is asking him why he called that one an error instead of a hit those many years ago.

Bobby Murcer died today at the age of
62. This is a truly sad day for the
Yankees and their fans. He was a great Yankee and an even better man. I grew up listening to Murcer call Yankees game on WPIX, and later on MSG and YES. I wish I had been able to see him play. RIP Bobby, you will be sorely missed, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Bobby Murcer

Tonight I’m posting this video about the tattoo
sportin’ Josh Hamilton from the Texas Rangers who pretty

I'm listening to Max Kellerman right now and
he's been talking about this, and he has a
good point. Steve Lombardi of WasWatching.com wrote about it earlier this week as well. Why do the Yankees continue to bat someone with a who is hitting .275/.346/.439 third? You know, the spot where you're supposed to have your best hitter? In June and July he's hitting just .239 with 3 HR, and 23 RBI. ...
