The Yankee Swap
22 07 2011The Oakland A’s had beaten Sparky Anderson‘s Reds in 7 games to win the 1972 World Series. Gaylord Perry and Nolan Ryan dominated the AL with their pitching prowness. The lowly 1972 Yankees were encouraged only by their powerful CF Bobby Murcer, as they finished a disappointing 4th in their division.
In 1973, the Yankees were bought for $10 million by a Cleveland shipbuilder by the name of George Steinbrenner, but the focus in spring training was on 2 Yankee lefty pitchers. On March 5, 1973, Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, 2/5 of the starting rotation, held a press conference at the teams’ training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to announce that they had swapped lives. The first trade under the Steinbrenner regime had been completed!

Chicks dig the long ball
10 08 2010Whats the problem with PEDs? Seriously?
Babe Ruth never faced the best pitchers from the Negro League, let alone the star pitchers from DR and around the world. Hank Aaron, 25-time All Star, played on a field in Milwaukee that was 315 ft to Left Field and 315 ft to Right Field.
Times were different, competition was different, of course steroids, the clear, the cream, dust, juice, or dropping squares of Acid may all help increase performance, reduce anxiety, speed up recovery, but they only help great players realize their full potential. The same way well informed training staffs, studying game film, improving workout regimes, encouraging healthier diets also help players – they dont make bad players great. Nobody is putting Bret Boone in the Hall of Fame because of his 3 great years. Bonds and McGwire are legends. Period, no asterisk.
Here’s a classic Nike commercial.
