"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Quick Fast

It’s cold and rainy in New York today as we Yankee fans moan about last night’s game. At least, the Yankee fans I’ve spoken to have been whinning (and none louder than me). Here’s a couple of links to break the mood. Okay, first, Steven Goldman ‘splains why Scioscia-Ball works more than it should; Mark Lamster writes that sometimes nice guys finish last, Hank Waddles interviews Jayson Stark and Baseball-Reference’s Stat of the Day blog notes that Jorge Posada is on his way to having the best season ever for a 35-year old catcher. And for something completely different, check out this series of recordings by former Yankee organist Eddie Layton. Ed Alstrom, the regular weekend organist at the Stadium these days (who is also a Bronx Banter regular), posted the Layton recordings, which are from the 1950s. Don’t sleep, peep.
