Here’s the announcement from the Yankees.
The New York Yankees announced today that they will donate a total of $100,000 to support the rescue and relief efforts associated with Hurricane Irene. Of the total, $50,000 will be given to the Salvation Army and $50,000 to the Red Cross, both of which are already working in the affected areas.
The Yankees will make an additional $25,000 donation specifically to support the rescue and relief efforts associated with the Texas wildfires. Of the total, $12,500 will be given to the Salvation Army and $12,500 to the Red Cross.
“On behalf of the entire New York Yankees organization, we would like to express our support to all of those affected by Hurricane Irene here at home on the East Coast and those affected by the devastating wildfires in Texas,” said New York Yankees General Partner and Vice Chairperson Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. “We are eager to support the efforts of wonderful organizations like the Red Cross and Salvation Army who are already on the ground making a difference in so many lives. Our hearts and prayers are with all those suffering during this difficult time as they begin the process of rebuilding.”
Good job by the Yankees organization. My friend’s house in Central Jersey flooded out and he lost two cars and his heating and air conditioning system. Luckily he has flood insurance so he should be OK. But there are a lot of people near him that don’t have it as the area had never flooded like that before.
Let the Mo media adulation begin.
For the stat heads, an article by Cliff Corcoran – Inside Baseball. “Best closer ever, and it’s not even close”.

Very cool.
More good works from the classiest organization in sports.
Shame- Fake Peter Gammons is a riot.
My favorite though (besides NotHankStein) is FauxJSterling. I’m not totally convinced that it’s not Sterling to be honest with you.
Erin – Definitely adding all of them on Twitter.. now that I can no longer follow the escaped Bronx Zoo cobra, I need something else to entertain me.
Wonder if fakePeterGammons is G Love too

repost:
I read Verducci’s article on Mo and I wept. To ready the beauty of Verducci’s prose and at the same time fully understand and embrace his descriptions is beyond overwhelming. The phrase “the embodiment of perfection” comes to mind when I think about Mariano Rivera. I can’t think of anyone else, in human form anyway, about whom I could or would say the same thing.
An amazingly gifted and beautiful human being.
depending on how you view closers, i believe mariano rivera is the greatest yankee pitcher of all time.
the only other option is whitey ford.
and regardless how you view the closer “position”, we have witnessed two top 10 yankees of all time with jeter and mariano.

More than two.
Alex is in there and there are arguments to be made for Jorge and Bernie as well.

To back up your claim of Ford and Rivera as the two top Yankee pitchers of all time here are #’s 3,4 and 5.

upstate, knew I liked you for a reason
Could Alley Reynolds squeeze in there?
Continuing the giving. George would be proud.
Allie, I meant.
Upstate Kate and Prufrock.
Ron Guidry won the Cy Young with that 25-3 record in 1978, the only Yankee ever to win the CY Young by a unanimous vote. One of my favorites too.
Now what pitcher was the only one to win the CY 3 times by unanimous vote each time. Should be easy. No peeking!
koufax
and that was when there was only one CY Young Award for all of baseball
JonLaneNYC CC Sabathia is the #Yankees’ club nominee for the 2011 Roberto Clemente Award. Derek Jeter (2009) was the last Yankee winner.

I think he’d be in the top 10 greatest Yankee pitchers. He came to the Yankees from the Indians at age 30 and 131 wins of the 182 wins were as a Yankee, when he retired at age 37.
His greatest year at age 35 was 1952 when he went 20-8 with a 2.06 ERA. I believe the 1st CY was awarded in 1956.
YankeesPR Happy Birthday shout out to Bernie Williams! (@bw51official)
GB-
It wasn’t until 1967 when the CY was awarded to a pitcher from both leagues.
Love that the Yankees always lead the way. Good job.
Someone called Torre MLB’s disciplinary czar. Anyway, Selig is really mad that the Mets made his office look bad.

Yeah, that most likely cost Ralph Terry the ’62 Award.
Extra Bases is having a tournament style thing of who the greatest Red Sox player is.
You’d have a tough time even seeding the Yankee greats.
New Post- Dickerson “It’s just a matter of keeping a routine”
Torre needs to fine and suspend Selig for 30 days for being a jerk
m, those clowns are likely to select Pedroia or Ramirez
Fortunately, the area I live in was spared,but Irene caused a lot of damage here in Vermont. Hats off to The Yankees for once again proving they are the classiest and most generous organization in sports.
