Nope. Only one. And he died July 17, 1961. ;)

This contract will be another albatross around NYY neck very soon.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Nice article but kind of played fast and loose with the filters. Almost as if he threw a dart, then drew the bullseye around where it landed.

I recognize we disagree on Ellsbury and his health issues. For whatever reason, his performance has been checkered at best. Great when he is great, but often disappointing.

Yeah, his baseline certainly has more variance than most at his age.
