I'm one of 3 who gave the Yankee MVP to Mo. My 2nd choice would have been CC. Jeter and Tex are running away with it. My thinking is, which guy could the Yanks least afford to lose at this point? That's yer MVP. The correct answer is really all of the above. interesting poll results thus far. I’m one of 3 who gave the Yankee MVP to Mo. My 2nd choice would have been CC.

I had never heard any of her work at that point, but I had read some glowing reviews of her stuff. So what the hell, right? It was "Sheela Na Gig" that instantly made me a fan. I went out the next day and purchased "Dry". Then everything else she recorded as soon as she released them. Easily one of my favorite artists, that Polly Jean.
