The New York Yankees are honoring career saves leader Mariano Rivera in a 50 plus minute pregame ceremony.

The lack of power on this team is staggering. A three-game series at Fenway Park without a single home run? That hasn't happened to the Bombers since 1995.

I heard Yankees fans whine about Russell Martin, Joe Girardi, Ichiro Suzuki and, well, everyone but the sainted captain at shortstop. I had to roll my window down a foot in case of car (and fan) sickness.
MLB is not talking about expansion now, but it will happen. Don't be surprised if the "official" discussion begins this offseason and is finalized within a year. In 2015 or '16, there will be two more teams playing in the Major Leagues.

While he was not a legacy owner the way that George Halas was with the Chicago Bears in the NFL, no American sports owner was more identified with his team than Steinbrenner was with the Yankees. He made the team his priority.
