In the spring of 1998, I received a phone call from Bobby Rossi who is responsible for scheduling all of the incredible talent at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida.

Yankees Piniella Always Sweet Lou
I recently received a call from Mead Chasky, the sports memorabilia guru, to tell me that Lou Piniella had a stroke. When I heard this news it really startled me.

Spring Training Report
Yankees and Baseball Belong to the Kids Again As I walk around this year’s spring training camp at George M. Steinbrenner field, I can’t help but smile.

I told him very simply that I didn’t have to play! George Steinbrenner had me there to take care of everybody, so it is easy to remember the stories. […]

Our Tears for Oscar
When I first started with the Yankees as a batboy in 1973 Ron Blomberg used to tease me about my Afro hairdo. He and Bobby Murcer used to say that I was the Oscar Gamble of batboys. George Steinbrenner used to get on my case about getting a haircut and I always said that I […]
