02/02: Getting To Know the Yankees (AKA Linkfest 2006!)
Posted by: James
As of this writing, there are less than 2 weeks before pitchers and catchers report! As we get closer to spring training and the inevitable start of the 2006 baseball season, I thought that putting together a quick hit list on info on the Yankees might not be such a bad idea. Luckily for me, Yankees.com has a lot of great stuff so here are the links I found, just in case you're curious.
A History of the Yankees: There is a lot to have fun with here including a very interesting Yankees timeline. You can also find single season records (though I don't believe that this has been updated to include the 2005 season), rare feats (there's some great did-you-know information in there), and a listing of retired numbers and a description of the players who wore them, among other things.
Now that we're caught up with the past, let's take a look at the present in a
Yanks Fan Guide to Spring Training and a Guide to Legends' Field
Other Yankees.com features include: Quick Hits: Projected Starting Lineup Rotation & Other Changes, The 40 Man Roster, and Non-Roster Invitees.
MLB.com has also done some relatively generic pieces on the various parts of the Yankees team so here are those highlights:
Catchers, Corner Infielders, Up the Middle, and Pitchers, including the bullpen as well as the starters.
And just in case you wanted even more information about the team, here is the
Front Office (Hey, where's Costanza on this list? Oh, he's just out getting Big Stein a calzone from Pisano's), Coaches and yes, even Broadcasters !
