What had been a fantastic week for the Yankees became somber this Monday, as the news of John Sterling’s passing broke this morning. The radio broadcaster was the voice of the team for decades, retiring during the 2024 season but sticking around for their postseason run to the World Series. His iconic custom calls for every Yankee player who hit a home run were an endearing part of his legacy, and he’ll be sorely missed.
The season must go on, and the Yankees now have yet another reason to go and win
it all. After a week that saw them win series against the Rangers and Orioles (with a chance to sweep a four-game set against the latter tonight), they made news by sending down shortstop Anthony Volpe at the end of his rehab assignment. Did the Yankees make the right call in keeping Caballero as their shortstop for now? Will we see Volpe return to the team before the first half concludes? Can George Lombard Jr. push his way into the picture? If you have questions like these, or anything else on your mind, send ‘em in for a chance to be featured in our Yankees mailbag.
Answers will run on Friday afternoon. All questions received by the night of May 7th will be considered. You can leave your submissions in the comment section below or by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
