Now, baseball...

How about them Yankees!!!

They are 40 games over .500, 1/2 game better than the Dodgers for the best record in baseball, 10 games ahead of the Rays and an amazing 17.5 games ahead of the Red Sox with 40 games left to go.

Go, Yankees!

All of that with two first basemen out, Aaron Hicks out, Elsberry  out for the season, Stanton--their power hitter---only playing 6 games, two pitchers out and one just coming back....

More injuries than an a nursing home.

Still--best record in baseball, 40 games over .500, and best of all 17.5 games ahead of the Red Sox with 40 games to play.

I shake my head when I watch them because so many of the names of the starters are new to me.

Amazing.

When I was growing up, the sport's commentator on channel 6 in Bluefield would begin his show with, "Let's see who the Yankees clobbered...."

This year feels like those years of Berra, Mantle, Maris, Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson and on and on.

Great for me.

Not for Sox fans.....
