"The Yankee Years" book

Hey guys picked up the book by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci and a interesting read. Sucker is long but hard to know who to believe but have to admire Torre. Interesting chapter on the "Steroid Era" and makes me sick that all the cheating behind the scenes and the owners just turn their head. Of course we have no one to blame but ourselves and putting up with it. Good read if you get a chance to pick it up.

I haven't read the book yet, but I'll bet it is pretty representative of ALL of all professional

sports and  the majority, if not all, of the teams.

Got done today but seeing A-Rod on TV today and have concluded his a pig after reading the book. Use to like him but change of mind after reading the book. PIG in my opinion.

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
