Alex Rodriguez enjoys a nice night in Babe's hometown
Oh my goodness gracious. The technical term for this in the journalism business is One Helluva Story.
Michael Kay's call on YES was good, but if any readers out there know of a link to John Sterling's calm, understated call on WCBS radio, please provide it in the comments section as a service to your fellow members of WatchDog Nation.
I will go out on a limb and predict YES' ratings for this one are going to be astronomical for a Friday night in May.
Speaking of YES, I noticed that the network and Mike Francesa's WFAN simulcast demonstrated a new level of partnership when Kim Jones appeared live from Baltimore during Francesa's 6 to 6:20 p.m. segment.
It was the second time Jones has been so deployed - it also happened once in Boston - and confirms what Francesa said in an interview a while back about integrating her Yankees reports into his show, which is a fine idea.
Just before going to YES at 6:05 or so, I watched the first few minutes of SportsCenter on ESPN. When Jeremy Schaap reported that now Brett Favre has NOT decided not to return, I checked the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1, then turned the channel.

there are so many words to choose from to describe the home run. FAIRY TALE should not be among them. Kay used it to describe the swing (whatever that means) and he used it again afterward I believe. Kay is such a clown. He should be very excited and say amazing or whatever, but FAIRY TALE really is ridiculous.
Another great moment in yankee lore. YES Network continuing there dominace!!
Here is Sterling's call:

Sterling continued to gush about the home run later in the game, calling it a "phenomenal sports moment."
Neil, two things. Awful job not promoting Imus's radiatohon. It was a staple
of sports radio for 20 years. Also, Neil, did the guys at the fan
donate again to the Radioathon. Last year Chernoff and Mikey
were involved. Thanks Neil, you remain the Best.
Doug: If someone had alerted me to its existence, I would have been happy to promote it.
I usually am too busy with the expectation of readers that I listen to WFAN and 1050 for a combined 48 hours a day to keep up with non-sports radio.
Good afternoon. The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Shingles message board. I found only this - does peer guardian work. Email a finance quote request form to us and we can turn the contract around within a matter of minutes.
