If you believe what it says in an article in today's New York Daily News, the New York Yankees could be up for sale in the near future. If a sale happens (and, I don't believe it will) one of the big questions a new owner will get is "What things, if any, will be different under your watch?" I started thinking about this after I read the article. If changes are made, you could see some shocking things, such as:
Names on the back of uniforms
No more Old Timers Day
Facial hair on the players
But there may also be welcome changes:
Replacing John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on the radio broadcast
The end of God Bless America (Trust me, I'm not anti-American!)
Better relationships with fan bloggers, and with individuals like Bald Vinny
There are probably better examples than these. What are they? Leave your comments below.
Other Notes:
* Everyone is talking about the 2 home runs Alex Rodriguez hit last night against the Royals. Was it the start of something big? I don't know. If he had hit them off a solid MLB pitcher, I'd say yes. But they came against Will Smith, a rookie who pitched like the guy known as the Fresh Prince might have. I'll reserve judgement until he goes deep off a better pitcher.
* After an off-day today, the Yankees start a West Coast road trip with a series in Oakland. I hate West Coast trips! I'm usually sound asleep by the third inning of night games. I'd love it if all the games started at 4:00 pm Eastern Time. That will happen when the current Yankee ownership replaces Sterling and Waldman. (In other words, never.)
