My mother was a Brazilian immigrant from the city of Manaus in the Amazon. Like many of her generation she considered Pele a hero - not just because of his soccer skills but for being a humanitarian. I met Pele in the early 80s. My mom was right: pure kindness. Adeus, senhor. RIP
Text from scout watching #Yankees defense tonight.
"Clown show."
I talked to Aaron Judge yesterday about the experimental/emerging medical therapy he's hoping will get him back on the field in the Division Series. (Assuming #Yankees get past the Red Sox, of course.) nj.com/yankees/2026/09/yanke…
Something a little different: How batting practice is still so remarkably simple and how it's become so high-tech #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/09/insid…
Couple of theories why Gerrit Cole is in the worst slump of his career #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/09/the-m…
Angel Chivilli, Jasson Dominguez and Anthony Volpe all optioned to Triple-A, per #Yankees. George Lombard Jr. will be in the Bronx tomorrow.
#Yankees announced Cam Schlittler will not pitch in the All-Star Game. No arm troubles but according to Aaron Boone, Schlittler feels "apprehensive" about airing out his fastball on what would normally be a routine side day.
#Yankees have been watching the World Cup all week on the clubhouse flat screens. Best quote of the week from the room: "Ronaldo is A-Rod."
Not surprised Jose Caballero is starting against a lefty (Ian Seymour) tonight. The Caballero-Volpe narrative has shifted several times but it's clear who has the upper hand right now. #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/07/yanke…
Brazil reminds me of the Yankees since 2009: a popular franchise, a brand, but not a championship team. @FIFAWorldCup @selecao

Join me in wishing Dusty Baker a happy 77th birthday. Dusty doesn't do social media, but if you post here, I'll tell him about it. Great day to buy his bestselling new book, Crossroads. amazon.com/Crossroads-Memoir…
Thoughts on Gerrit Cole's long road back from TJ surgery. We talked about the big and little things over the last 14 months. Like how to cut your steak with your right arm in a splint (you can't). #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/05/yanke…
Saying goodbye to John Sterling, who was once my next door neighbor #Yankees nj.com/yankees/2026/05/sayin…
Really sad news about John Sterling. He was everyone's friend. Spent a lifetime doing what he loved. What a lucky man. RIP #Yankees
Anthony Volpe's demotion to Class-AAA comes as no surprise, given how enthusiastic #Yankees are about Jose Caballero lately. Club had been non-committal about Volpe's status for the last 10 days of his injury rehab, a sure sign he'd lost his job. – at Westwood, NJ

This is the greatest thing I have seen in years. #RepBX
Thoughts on the WBC final last night: Venezuela's celebration, Aaron Judge's struggle, Mark DeRosa's lineup choices and Tarik Skubal watching it all from the dugout. nj.com/yankees/2026/03/aaron…
