| 2010-06-15 13:00:00 | Speaking of Teixeira, what the heck's going on? Why aren't people talking about it?
Can you imagine the Yankaroos with a productive Tex? (Zebs335 from Boston) | All I know is that the 1939 Yankees were somehow one of the greatest teams of all time with Babe Dahlgren playing first and hitting .235/.312/.377. That said, Teixeira has hit .274/.370/.457 since April, which isn't great but is on the right track. I'm not terribly worried about him. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-03-14 13:00:00 | In your first, and very moving, article at BP (yes, I should have asked you this 4 years ago) you wrote:
"There's Joe McCarthy, a manager who never ripped a player in public...until the day he did."
I've always wondered who that player was. This can't be Babe Dahlgren is it?
(JimmyJack from Newcastle, WA) | No... It was Joe Page, future ace reliever. He had great stuff but was highly undisciplined off the field. Jerry Coleman told me he was self-destructive, a guy who couldn't let himself succeed. Later, of course, he had a couple of Cy Young-type years as the Yankees' fireman (closer would be the wrong word), but at that time he was still a starter, and failing. McCarthy was under a lot of pressure - drinking, dealing with wartime ballplayers, dealing with Larry MacPhail, who himself was a highly erratic personality due to alcohol, and something about Page just made him snap. While the team was waiting for a flight to take off (and McCarthy didn't like flying either - that was a MacPhail thing), McCarthy sat down next to Page and tore into him in front of the whole team. McCarthy resigned the next day. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-02-27 13:00:00 | The Yankees still need a first baseman. When do we get news of a Jim Spencer comeback? Where have you gone, Danny Cater? (Domina Editrix from Dark Corners of the Mind) | My money is on Babe Dahlgren. Anyway, this is something they can play with for a couple of months and then try a patch in season. If Giambi can't do it (and I'm skeptical), platooning Betemit and Duncan or Ensberg should at least be league average. (Steven Goldman) |
