Bronx Bomber Ball

This year in particular, the Yankees most tenured player, Brett Gardner has shown that he is capable of following in Jeter’s footsteps and donning the invisible C on his jersey. He is a great presence to have in the clubhouse by offering advice to the big class of young ballplayers that have risen through the ranks at lightning speeds. These guys like Miguel Andujar, Gleyber Torres, Gary Sanchez and to a lesser extent Aaron Judge need a mentor to guide them through playing in the toughest city in America.   Photo Credit: SNY

You know the saying “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it?” That’s how I feel about Joe Girardi not being re-signed. I was a very outspoken #FireGirardi member in the early days of last summer when he insisted on pitching Tyler Clippard. It’s hard to complain now with Aaron Boone because the Yankees have the best record in baseball (by win percentage) and Boone has a good grasp of this young team all while being a first-year manager. It’s hard to hate what’s going on and yet, something’s missing for me. Photo Credit: SB Nation
