Spider-Man Is Swinging From CC Sabathia’s Rear (GIF)
The Amazing Spider-Man is capable of using his web-shooters to swing from the greatest of society’s structures, whether is be the tallest of buildings, or the slenderest of poles. Heck, he is even capable of swinging from CC Sabathia’s ginormous 290-pound rear, just like he showed during the recent broadcast of a game between the [...]

The art of deception can be quite the powerful tool, both in sports, and in life. No one knows that better than New York Yankees left-fielder Dewayne Wise, as he seems to have mastered the art of deception, and he put it to good use during the seventh inning of last night’s game against the [...]

Not-So-Classy Female Yankees Fan Gets Ejected From Citi Field (Video)
Baseball games are a great example of the social contract. Thousands of people show up to watch a ball game, and they all behave properly as part of an unspoken agreement that they engage in with the stadium and its workers. But not everybody is always on board with this agreement. Take the female Yankees [...]

This Day In Sports History (June 18th) – Billy Martin
It was on this day in 1979 that George Steinbrenner re-hired Billy Martin to manage the New York Yankees. This was Martin’s second of an incredible five stints as manager of the Yankees.

Check Out this Amazing Color Footage of the 1939 World Series (Video)
People generally assume that, since most of the movies and photographs we have from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s are in black and white, color photography wasn’t even around. But that’s not true. Technicolor (for movies) was invented all the way back in 1916 and radically improved in 1929, and Kodachrome (for photographs) was invented [...]

This Day In Sports History (June 6th) — Stump Merrill
It was on this day in 1990 that Stump Merrill replaced Bucky Dent as the manager of the New York Yankees. With the hiring, Merrill became the 31st manager in Yankees history. Merrill replaced Dent, who had the Yankees out to a 18-31 record to start the 1990 season. Dent was hired late in the [...]

Yankees Unhappy With Comerica Park Security After Fan Runs Up And Gives Nick Swisher A Fist Bump (Video)
Usually when a fan runs out onto the playing field at a sporting event, the shenanigans end quickly and painfully. We know this is certainly the case when fans get too rowdy at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philly and Fenway in Boston. But what happens when a fan runs onto the field at Comerica Park [...]

Mariano Rivera Tears ACL While Shagging Fly Balls (Video)
Being a Toronto Blue Jays fan, there are plenty of players on the New York Yankees that I would love to see pull up lame with a serious knee injury while shagging fly balls in the outfield during batting practice. Mariano Rivera is not one of them. Rivera suffered a torn ACL during Yankees batting [...]

Female Red Sox Fan Takes A Devastating Kick To The Face From A Yankees Fan (Video)
This may sound harsh, but anyone who wears Red Sox apparel to a game between the Yankees and any other team in the MLB besides the Red Sox probably deserves to be taunted all game and eventually kicked in the face. And apparently, I’m not the only one who feels that way, as one female [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 4/19/12 — Curtis Granderson
After losing two of their first three games to the Minnesota Twins, the New York Yankees were hoping to salvage a series split with a victory last night. They would do just that, thanks in part to the bat of Curtis Granderson. The Yankees’ center fielder entered the game with his batting average barely over [...]

These Blonde Twins Were At The Twins Game Last Night (Video)
Talk about a coincidence! During last night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx, YES Network cameras caught these two identical twins sitting in the first row with their matching outfits. That seemed to be the prefect time for Michael Kay to promote the network’s broadcast for today’s game [...]

Picture Of The Day: NY Post 1, A-Rod 0
Yesterday we informed you that a New York Yankees fan may have been responsible for killing former Libyan tyrant Moammar Gadhafi. The New York Post was sharing similar information on their front cover this morning, and in doing so, they decided to take the opportunity to throw in a cheap-shot at the Big Apple’s favorite [...]
