This ends my 31st year behind the mic calling @Yankees games. I’ve been so fortunate to have been able to broadcast so many great moments over the last three-plus decades. It has been one of the joys of my life to live out a childhood dream. Thanks for watching/listening.

My last look out at the field as I left the booth tonight. Please know I never lose sight of the fact that I’m just a kid from the Bronx living out a childhood dream. This was my 30th (!) year behind the mic and reality has far exceeded the dream. Thanks for watching.

I saw his first pitch and his last pitch and most of the pitches in between and he was the greatest relief pitcher I’ve seen. In fact, he might have been the best pitcher I ever saw. Today, Mariano Rivera takes his place as part of forever in Cooperstown. Congrats, Mo.

I think it’s tiring when losses are blamed on umpires calls because there is so much that goes on before and usually after but the strike 3 call on Odor was inexcusable and disgraceful. To make that call on national TV in the bottom of the ninth is ineptitude at its finest.

Consider this: Judge misses a third of the year, Didi essentially misses two months (one injury, one couldn't hit). Montgomery out for year. Chapman DL, zero production out of Bird, Gray Ineffective, under .200 by Sanchez, projected 3B doesn't play. = 100 wins. Remarkable.

Honestly, I’m a bit dubious on this strategy. You just wasted García, who can pitch a full, effective game, for one inning just so you control the lineup composition. Could work out, but it’s a bit too cute to use a top flight starter as a full fledged opener.
