  1. My Mother-in-Law with, I believe, Preacher Roe and Arky Vaughan Spring Training in the Dominican Republic 1948.

  2. Cashman of NYY halfway made a pitch for Chipper to unretire and don pinstripes. (Don’t think I even knew Chipper’s real name is Larry until this piece.)

    Ain’t a gonna happen, as Cashman and about everybody else would expect.

    BUT… if NYY are all that desperate for a 3B, the Dodgers could fill the void. Future Yankee even hit a 3-run HR the other day. (Maybe the last for a long, long time, but hey….)

    C’mon, Yanks. Make it happen. Can’t miss. (Oops…shouldn’t put “can’t miss” and he who shall not be named in the same sentence.)

    Could we interest you in some surplus starting pitchers too, pretty soon? Pretty please?
