let's hear it for New York


October 22. typically a great day in Yankee history.


Oct 22, 1996--Yankees came back from 2-0 against the Braves in the series to win that night and never look back. I can't remember a better feeling than winning that day. Oct 22 is my dad's birthday, and I remember him saying to me at the tender age of 14 that all he wanted for his birthday was a Yankee win on his birthday. In 1996, it seemed as if the Bobby Cox managed Atlanta Braves were a lock for the championship as they were numbers wise and talent wise, the best team on paper.


so. I'm hoping tonight for my dad...and let's face it, for me that my boys in pinstripes pull it out and clinch the pennant tonight.

It's gonna take a little time...

yes. I am officially a blogger. This could prove to be a great thing or a bad thing....depending on whether or not you agree with what I have to say on occasion. Main reason I started this blog was to track my goal of running a marathon. I'm sure along the way, I'll end up some sort of a sports blogger with my running goals and other habits blended in there.
