FOX trying to turn Steinbrenner into Ted Williams.....

[Frayed Knot]

Nice lineup of HoF players - said to be the biggest collection outside of Cooperstown.

Living HoF players NOT appearing tonight (as far as I can tell):
C. Fisk
C. Yasztremski - never seems to show up to this sort of thing
S. Musial - older and reportedly in poor health
N. Ryan -WTF, you're still part of the game dude
J. Bunning - and Congress isn't even in session
T. Seaver - grape pickin' time I guess
J. Morgan - you're at 3 games a week man!
D. Eckersley
J. Bench
D. Snider
S. Koufax - notoriously event-shy

Are they going to remove his head and put it in a freezer?

Now I can see why George doesn't get out much anymore.
I think he could use a drool cup.

Eckersley was there. Bench was in NY (I heard him on FAN today) so I wonder why he wasn't introduced. The ceremony wasn't bad until Steinbrenner showed up. He had no business being there unless he was searching for a calzone.

Geez, Bob Feller turns 90 later this year and looks like he can still pitch.

(OK that 2nd part is a bit of an exaggeration but the age is accurate and he looks pretty damn good).

[Fman99]

Coverage started at 8 PM... 45 minutes later and they STILL haven't started playing the damn game yet. What a joke.

My son: "So why haven't the Yankees won since 2000."

Love that kid.

[G-Fafif]

Although I suppose I am prime target demo for HOF introductions and such, man was that long and drawn out. Loved Ralph's appearance, however.

If there's anybody reading this thread who used to work for a publication devoted to the beverage industry: since Budweiser will soon be owned by a European company, will it still be able to call itself "The great American lager"?

We saw Feller in Winter Haven during a spring training game. You're right - he looks damn good for a guy his age!

Oh, but he did so with class and grace -- the Yankee way.

Can't quite put my finger on why he did that. Hmm. Must be something intangible, I guess.

[Zvon]

Wow.
I was about to post errors kill on the Hanley play and Milton gets picked off.

[bmfc1]

Keep hitting homeruns in NY, Matt.

[Zvon]

YES!

NL on the board!

[Fman99]

Quite the opposite field jack.

What the stadium cost to build back in the day doesn't mean squat because that building was torn down in bleeping 1974. How many tax dollars did it cost to build the 30-year-old building they're throwing away?

Oh it's Captain Wonderful's last chance to honor the Baseball Cathedral.

Have you ever seen shinier helmets? must've been a mlb directive

Ol Jeets taps back weakly to the pitcher. Two more LOBs for the AL.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Somewhere, the Babe weeps as Jeter lets the legends down again.

Completely valid! But I had to vent, and my wife got tired of listening and went bed.
