Both of them contributed hugely to both the Yankees regular and postseason success. Both also came up huge in the World Series. Both are also getting older though, and neither have shown any indications that they may be the least bit interested in retirement.Damon hit well over .300 and his heads up double steal in Game Four was huge in a serie...

There is a new heartthrob on the team and he roams the Yankee outfield.

Here's more from Mark Feinsand:Bonnie Clark, the Phillies' vice president of communications, said in an e-mail message Sunday that the Phillies were advised by umpires and Yankees security during Game 3 that fans were throwing coins at the outfielders...."We're not messing with them, just having some fun," ...

Joe Girardi has finally decided to sit his struggling right-fielder, who is just 11 of his last 77 (.143) with 1 homer and 4 RBI. If you ask me, it's about damn time. Jerry Hairston Jr., who is 10-for-27 against Pedro Martinez in his career, will start in his place.“We like the way they kind of match up against each other and that shows in the numbers,” Girardi said.“Like any other player, like I was when I didn’t ...

It's one marred by bad swings, bad outs and a lot of frustration. When the Yankees acquired Swisher last winter, which was a steal of a trade and if you forgot all we gave up was Wilson Betemit, it wasn't expected he'd be an everyday player. Then Xavier Nady went down early and for the year and Swish was the one who answered the call. Swisher in the regular season batted .249/.371/.498/.869 with 29 homers and 82 rbi...

Did Nick Swisher take a fan’s original T-shirt idea and trademark it for himself, in order to make some extra cash?
