daayyumm!
The only 2 Id swap with you would be Deion and Roberto cause they at least ahd a few good moments with the yankees. The rest never did shit.

Thats def a last place team tho if I ever saw on..prolly not one guy batting over.... .212, lol!

Yo, I remember how pissed I was and for how many yrs on the Phelps for Buhner trade...Jay went on to have monster yrs for Seattle and Phelps just...simply sucked!

Ed whitson, LOL!!..how bout Dan Pasqua

ahhh, the memories.

Stankiewicz---how could anyone forget Stanky the Yankee? I bought my then 3 year old nephew a Staniewicz name and # T-shirt shortly after he was demoted, or traded. it was like $3 at Stan's

Matt Nokes---favorite memory--Clemens drills in the ribs with heater. A pissed off matt Nokes catches the ball between his ribs and his arm, and fires it back to Clemens, who didn't realize what happened right away (that it was Nokes firing it back at him and not his catcher)

Steve Farr/Steve Howe---my friends brother is a bleacher guy from way back. he once told me of a gimmick/chant they used to have back in those days: Howe---Farr---will they hit it? or something like that

Bob Wickman---I think it was 1993, he couldn't lose a game. he'd give up 6 rusn in 3 innings, and they would come back. Or he'd give up 4 runs in 5 innings and get a win. i remember him being 8-0 while teh mets had a guy naemed Anthony young who pitched halfway decent, not great by any means, but he had a 27 game losing streak spanning a couple seasons

Mike Stanley---I too was a big fan. when they showed the Girardi montage tonight, it reminded me of how much I hated the move to bring in girardi to replace Stanley. Didn't Stanley come back for a brief sting during the dynasty years?

Kevin Maas---I remember being so excited. We weren't just gonna get to watch his Hall of fame career, but he had a brother who was gonna be great too. Jason Maas

mel Hall---favorite memory. Trying to score on a base hit and he blows out a wheel 20-30 feet short of home plate. Goes down liek he was shot. Tries pathetically to crawl to the plate, but gets tagged out

here's a name that hasn't been mentioned----Alvaro Espinoza. Phil Rizzuto LOVED him

Don't remember Mark Salas. Do remember Butch Wynegar. How about hal Morris? he'd make a great backup to Maas. I thought he was gonna be the next Mattingly. At least Sax got to play for the Mr. Burns All Star Team. Blowers was part of the Tino deal, right? I catch him some nights on the baseball package doing Mariners post game. Deion Sanders. possibly my most hated Yankee ever. Hitting .151, he demands a $ 2 million contract, or he's walking out, not playing any more

hellfish you just gave me the crazy flashbacks! Esp the Nokes/Clemens incident, LOL! and Soul Glo trying to crawl home! hahahah
I can hear the Scooter in the background....
"HOLY COW THAT BALL IS...oh...wow THAT one looked like it was gonna carry..."
I loved the scooter

i love mike stanley's batting stance. i use to try so hard to copy it in little league.

i remember pat kelly had an autograph session at a mall by my house when i was about 11. i waited on line for like 2 hours to get his signature. i was so proud to show off my pat kelly autograph baseball & rookie card to my friends! hahahaha.

wasn't he arrested not once, but TWICE for having sex with underage girls in his hotel room while the yanks were on the road?????

and then returned to the team after his jail stint. i never saw a yankee player abused so badly by the home crowd.
