OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread

your post made me think of Ryan Duren and I expected to see a lot of WPs for a closer, but to my surprise only 38 in his 10 years .
Because I remembered his think glasses and announcers saying players were afraid of his fastball and wildness, I imagined a whole bunch over his career .
Hell I expected to see 38 in one season 😁
In my google search I found this:
>"Ryne could throw the heck out of the ball. He threw fear in some hitters. I remember he had several pair of glasses but it didn't seem like he saw good in any of them," Yankees Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra said Friday.<
As you know my dad was famous for talking to hitters, he’d tell them don’t get to comfortable, he don’t know where it’s going.
Between Elston and my dad, they blocked everything.
Duren had a great hits to innings pitch ratio

OT: Minor Snowfall for Most (except moderate N of 80 towards 84 w/some icing) Sat (2/15) pm, Followed by Heavy Rain for Everyone

Well it started coming down here about 1PM. Just took a really bad fall in the back by the grill as apparently the snowmelt from last night hardened into a solid layer of ice covered over by this snow. I was grilling last night and it wasn't icy at all, so this formed overnight. Took a helluva shot to my upper right back and shoulder. Fun, fun, fun.
