Congratulations to Mariano Rivera, future hall of famer, five time World Series Champion, and the greatest closer in the history of baseball for breaking the all time saves record today with 602. What else can you say.






Yankee hero, Hideki Matsui has agreed to a one year deal with the LA Angels, ending his 7 year Yankee career. In his final year with the Yankees, the 35-year-old battled through knee issues to hit .274 with 28 homers and 90 RBIs. A national hero in his native Japan, Matsui saved his best for last. In his final game in pinstripes, Matsui turned in one of the greatest performances in World Series history, tying a record with six RBIs to lift the Yankees past the Phillies in the clinching Game 6. The epitome of class and grace, Matsui hit 140 homers in seven seasons in the Bronx, providing a powerful left-handed bat that when healthy solidified the middle of the Yankees' lineup. Godzilla, good luck and Godspeed, you will be missed. Here is his awesome game 6 at bat against Pedro Martinez.




Last night Alex Rodriguez passed the great Reggie Jackson on the all time homerun list. Reggie is now # 12, but if you remove steriod users he is #7. Instead of celebrating Arod, let's celebrate Reggie who did it all with attitude and muscle. Above pic are his 3 back to back homeruns in the 1977 World Series game 6 vs the Dodgers. A huge fan, I met him a few years ago at a company event and he sat at our table and bullshitted with us for like 15 minutes after signing a bunch of stuff. Very cool guy. Below a nice homage set to a classic Queen song. You rock Reggie.
