We Should Have Thought Of This Years Ago!
With the success in the media that the Joe Torre and Tom Verducci’s book is getting, other former Yankees, pre non-disparagement clause, are rushing to their book publishers to get their memoirs published.
From the information that we were able to gather we selected some of our favorite clips from people who have taken in during he Yankee windfall but still had the audacity to say these mean things about the Yankees. They may be true but they will definitely create their own kind of buzz.

“Drove to the stadium this morning and traffic was awful, probably because they knew a black guy was coming to the stadium. Once I was in the clubhouse the toilet was out of toilet paper, they always doing that to the black man, probably Torre’s idea. Then I had to go out and play Right Field, definitely Joe’s idea and because I am black. Got a homerun in the sixth that drove in 3 runs and we won the game, but Randy Johnson got player of the game because he threw a shut out and I am black. But at the end of the day I love the Yankees because I’m a paper chaser”

“Today was a beautiful July morning in Tampa. I awoke at 11 AM and made myself some toast. While buttering the toast I felt tightness in my shoulder, I went over to my to-do list and put down SEE THE TRAINER and thought about visiting the east coast later this month. It has been three years since I have been to New York and I bet the guys would love to see me, they always say things like 'nice to see you' and 'long time no see'.”

“Thinking about going out tonight and it has been a couple of rough days on the singles scene so maybe I will wear the thong. I haven’t hit a baseball in over two weeks; so maybe I’ll try the thong. I wonder if A-Rod still has it. I still can’t get over what a great idea this thong is and with the money that the Yankees are paying me I should get a real gold thong. You know throw my money away just like the Steinbrenners did. But, all I have to do is watch some more baseballs go by and eventually all my slumps go away. I never needed this in Oakland. There it was just my trusted personal trainer, my vitamins and I hit the ball a long way”
