Many memories, I remeber these days when the yanks would begin in first place and then go downhill the rest of the season. This when selected areas had cable in NYC. SC took the games in 87' and then in 88 MSG took over. It was sad becuase 95% of the bronx at that time had no cable, I think it was only riverdale and Pelham that had it... But anyway how many yankee fans nowadays can remember the dark days of this area. Thanks to Don Mattingly who gave me a reason to be a Yankee fan...

You're thinking of 1986

Whenever Rickey was in a contract year he was the second coming of Willie Mays. Kind of like Manny Ramirez....but without the stupidity (and quitting on your former team). Just think....what those Yankee teams of the mid-80's could have done if they had any starting pitching whatsoever.

You're right/ I should've remembered that. I do rememebr watcing The Giants game afterward, and the announcers saying Bill Parcells would be happy for Wade Boggs because he was a Red Sox fan. My mind is going in my old age, but I do remember Rickey Henderson missing a lot of that season

That was 1986. I remember the Yankees ended the year in Fenway and Mattingly batted lead-off in order to get as many AB's as possible.

Man oh man does this bring me back to my childhood! What a GREAT post.Good ol 1987 Yankees. Rickey Henderson got hurt, and Fucking Wade Boggs sat out the last 2 or 3 games of the season so Mattingly wouldn't beat him for the batting title.

Nice leap and grab by right fielder Dan Pasqua in front of a half empty Yankee Stadium. Years before the place would be packed with the bandwagon fans you see today.

In a perfect world, WPIX would still broadcast Yankee games. R.I.P. Yankee baseball on WPIX channel 11 (1951-1998).

Sorry to comment whore but you said it man. Hearing just that part of the song made me look for the music video of the song here on YT. It made you get so psyched up for these games back in the days. Freaking glory days, man! Nothing like it! Again, great video. Short but sweet.
