They hate him too? You guys are really getting conspiratorial. The guys who showed up were included. There were a ZILLION Yankee greats who were left out.

It makes so much sense its not even an issue thats debatable (for a well run franchise) to me. I'm not sure IPK is gone, but the silence is deafening surrounding Melky. With Gardner playing his ass off and contributing DESPITE a low BA, its pretty obvious where the Yanks are heading. Girardi liked Gardner out of spring training, but the Yanks insisted on him getting a full season in AAA. Plus, if you want to believe that part of Cano's problems was too many late nights with Cano (as was often rumored) than Melky gets the Billy Martin treatment and gets sent away for a bag of balls. The last game I went to was the Hughes start last week, and I was shocked at how the fans got on Melky. Not after making an out, the minute he first came up to the plate. I guess I'm not the only one who noticed him smirking after making an error this year. If you simply pick up his option and he bombs out next year, you can always cut him in mid season.

I just said it would be weird. I know it's pointless and meaningless. I was just pointing out a statistical quirk. No need to be mockingly sarcastic about it. I didn’t say it would be awesome.

If that was the case, it'd just be called "The House The Ruth Homered In." But I get what you're driving at... Joe Morgan is a dumbass.
