三則來自彼得亞伯拉罕部落格的文章 Fastest dad in baseball Congratulations to Brett and Jessica Gardner. The couple had their first child on Wednesday night. Hunter Thomas Gardner checked in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces and was signed to a lifetime contract. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/11/20/fastest-dad-in-baseball/ Mussina goes out on his own terms Mike Mussina took questions for about 45 minutes today. In essence, he decided last January to retire because pitching wasn’t as fun as it used to be for him. That he had such a good season didn’t change his mind because he knew there were no guarantees he could repeat it. Knowing that this was it, he said, contributed to his success. Mussina plans to coach his sons and enjoy his life. He didn’t rule out having some role in the game at some point but had no idea what it would be. “I don’t have any plans,” he said. “I’ll just enjoy the free time.” Get 10 writers in the room and you’ll get 10 different opinions. But most of the people on the call thanked Mussina for his graciousness over the years. For those who took the time to get to know him and weren’t insulted by his initial sarcasm, Mussina provided plenty of knowledge and perspective. You also have to admire the guy for walking away from the game the way he is. “I just wanted to go out on my own terms,” he said. Here is the audio from Mussina’s call. It’s a long file, but for fans of the Moose I think you’ll find it well worth your time: http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/11/20/mussina-goes-out-on-his-own-terms/ （語音請自行前往上述網址聆聽） Hal Steinbrenner takes control of Yankees Here is the real news of the day. In a unanimous vote, MLB owners today approved Hal Steinbrenner to assume control of the Yankees at the request of his father. “I realize it’s a great responsibility,” said Hal Steinbrenner, who turns 40 on Dec. 3. “My dad is, needless to say, a tough act to follow.” Hal and Hank Steinbrenner have been listed as co-chairpersons. But it has been obvious for months that it is the younger brother who runs the club. Hal Steinbrenner has been in New York dozens of times to meet with Brian Cashman, Joe Girardi, Randy Levine and Lonn Trost. He also has ably represented the team at assorted events and made the majority of the decisions according to team officials. It is uncertain whether there was any sort of power play between the brothers for this position. But within the team offices in Tampa and the Bronx, this will be welcome news. UPDATE, 1:53 p.m.: This statement from family spokesman Howard Rubenstein: “At the MLB meetings today, the clubs approved Hal Steinbrenner as the control person for the New York Yankees. This is consistent with George Steinbrenner’s desire and commitment to have his sons assume the day to day responsibility of operating the club. George Steinbrenner will remain as Chairman of the New York Yankees, Hal and Hank Steinbrenner will continue as Co-Chairmen. “Hal was designated as the control person because he is responsible for the overall business and financial operations of the Yankees. Hank will continue to oversee the club’s Baseball Operations.” Titles aside, it has been Hal Steinbrenner who comes to the Bronx and meets regularly with Cashman and Girardi and just last week said how he planned to start building relationships with agents. At the end of the day, one person has to be in charge and it’s him. —————— Mike Mussina will conduct a conference call at 4 p.m. Check back later for a report and hopefully the audio. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/11/20/hal-steinbrenner-takes-control-of-yankees/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.23.212
