05/23: More on New York/Boston Media Game
Posted by: Patrick
Kat O'Brien, Tyler Kepner and Mark Feinsand have entries up on the recent media game.
Both Kepner and Feinsand say the winning streak is at 10 and not 11 - it's a twice a year thing and the New York team hasn't lost since 2001. Gathering from all of the entries I've read, the New York team lineup (not sure of order) was as follows:
C - Kevin Devaney
1B - Ben Walker
2B - Pete Caldera
3B - Jack Curry
SS - John Harper
LF - Peter Botte
CF - Tom Verducci
RF - Bryan Hoch
DH - Mark Feinsand
DH - Kat O'Brien
? - Peter Abraham
? - Ken Davidoff
SP - Tyler Kepner
RP - Bob Klapisch
Player/Manager - Anthony McCarron
From Kepner:
Good stuff.

From Kepner:
One of the great privileges of this job is the annual media game at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. Once a year, early in the morning, the Yankees and the Red Sox open their doors to let the New York media take on the Boston media. It’s real hardball: umpires, scoreboards, music, a post-game food spread, the works. Everything but those annoying writers asking us questions after the game.
Good stuff.
