Spring Training Update: Yanks' Stanley Hits Towering Bomb During BP

Sure, you could point to his career 6.07 ERA or his paltry 5.0 K/9, but if you weren't there during that magical summer of 1995 you would never understand the sheer excitement and all-encompassing sense that we were witnessing true greatness during every one of Vaughn Eshelman's 14 starts (and additional 9 relief…

I also heard from a friend that Tuuk enjoys icing (the Smirnoff kind) people at bars. Definitely not a Tea Party activity.

If we look at the Celtics top 7, there is Rondo, Garnett, Pierce, Bradley, Bass, Terry, and (a hopefully healthy) Green.
