Pinstripe Worthy?

An inquiry into the complex nature of True Yankeehood from a Yankee fan and a non-Yankee fan. Calculating the True Yankeehood Score for past, present, and potential future Yankees since 2006!

In other news...


This just in: Jim Leyritz is reportedly considering a comeback.

In other news, I found some interesting lint in the dryer screen while I was doing my laundry this morning...

Word to the true Pinstripe-Worthiers among us: we'll be hearing a lot about this in the next few days, and someone will dredge up this quote from Costas, who will almost certainly get a PW? evaluation of his own in the near future:

"You could send this guy to a resort in the spring and summer, as long as he comes back for October."

Yeah. Leyritz hit 8 postseason dongs. But first of all, we've been clearly coached by Yankee fans that the two he hit for the Padres are completely worthless, so let's throw them out, shall we...although I guess it could be noted that he did nothing against the Yankees in the series, which, I'm sure, speaks somehow to his True Yankeehood. Hell, according to this, "It should also be noted in this series that Leyritz was the starting catcher in Game 5 of this series, a 1-0 pitcher's duel between Andy Pettitte and John Smoltz. While Leyritz did not contribute offensively or defensively in this game, he was calling the pitches for Pettitte's remarkable 8 1/3 innings shutout performance and guided Andy (as well as closer John Wetteland) through perilous 6th and 9th inning jams." Maybe Leyritz was also responsible for Don Larsen's perfect game, too...

Okay, the guy still had a few moments in October, I'll give him that. But if he comes back and flops, won't he be tarnishing his legacy? That's not "The Yankee Way," is it?

Oh, yeah, and there's this, too...
