Joe Torre?s been taking plenty of heat for his tell all ?The Yankee Years?, and his role in other books, for that matter, but one of the things that came out of his inevitable media slobbing to tout the tome was a rather noble gesture, and one that, to the best of our knowledge, hasn?t [...]

Before we get into it, here’s my Arod When the Yankees traded for Alex Rodriguez, I was excited. Actually, excited is a bit of an understatement. A woman I worked with described it as “a constant creepy grin that I wish you would cut out.”  I also went out and immediately brought an A-Rod ...
