My mother was a Brazilian immigrant from the city of Manaus in the Amazon. Like many of her generation she considered Pele a hero - not just because of his soccer skills but for being a humanitarian. I met Pele in the early 80s. My mom was right: pure kindness. Adeus, senhor. RIP

Thoughts on Gerrit Cole's long road back from TJ surgery. We talked about the big and little things over the last 14 months. Like how to cut your steak with your right arm in a splint (you can't). #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/05/yanke…

Really sad news about John Sterling. He was everyone's friend. Spent a lifetime doing what he loved. What a lucky man. RIP #Yankees

Anthony Volpe's demotion to Class-AAA comes as no surprise, given how enthusiastic #Yankees are about Jose Caballero lately. Club had been non-committal about Volpe's status for the last 10 days of his injury rehab, a sure sign he'd lost his job.

Here’s an awesome video of a bunch of kids from New York City sharing their thoughts on the New York Yankees releasing The Great Bambino, Babe Ruth.
Crazy to think these lads are like 8-12 years old and they probably could kick my ass without breaking a sweat. The year is 1935x.

Thoughts on the WBC final last night: Venezuela's celebration, Aaron Judge's struggle, Mark DeRosa's lineup choices and Tarik Skubal watching it all from the dugout. nj.com/yankees/2026/03/aaron…

Watching Gerrit Cole pitch to Aaron Judge was one of the treats of early spring training. Biggest news was Cole's velocity: he topped out at 96.9-mph. Barring any setbacks June 1 is a realistic return date. #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/02/gerri…

I think Giancarlo Stanton has a legit shot at the HOF if/when he gets to 500 home runs (47 to go). He hasn't been quite the star #Yankees had hoped, but it's still been a pretty good run, injuries aside. As aloof and distant as Stanton can be, not winning a championship is eating him up. nj.com/yankees/2026/02/the-o…

David Cone offers an interesting counter argument to those who think the Dodgers are too rich: the more they spend, the more they pump luxury tax revenue directly to the smaller market teams. #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/02/david…

#Yankees have made an internal decision not to engage in a bidding war for Cody Bellinger if #Mets or anyone else swoops in with a blow-away offer. Yankees believe they've made a fair proposal - five years, $160 million, two opt-outs. They're prepared to let Bellinger walk.

If talks between #Yankees and Cody Bellinger fall apart, it's because he (and Scott Boras) are stuck on seven years, $36-$37 million per. The club won't touch that. nj.com/yankees/2026/01/yanke…

Luke Weaver's relationship with #Yankees ended on a down note. The club never made an offer during free agency, nor did he give the Yankees a chance to match #Mets two-year, $22 million contract. Weaver simply moved on. nj.com/yankees/2025/12/why-y…

Andy Pettitte has a complicated case for the Hall of Fame, but he's getting my vote. #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2025/12/there…

I agree, as mentioned in the column.

If Mattingly belongs, then Keith Hernandez DEFINITELY belongs also.
