Alex Rodriguez may not be the face of the New York Yankees, but he's
the best player in baseball. Fellow All-Star David Wright has yet to
win an MVP, yet could be the most popular player in the game. Each can
lay claim to the title of Prince of The City, but melodramatic rhetoric
means little to either player.
When Gotham Baseball Magazine first opened for business, we pledged to
be more accessible to our readership than any publication. I think, to
a large extent, we've done that. But as we always to strive to do
more, we're asking you, the fans, to choose the final design for our
latest edition, "The City Game".
Gotham Baseball has always said that there are great players in the collegiate ranks in the northeast - some might even say there are many "Beasts" in the East. Well, we're proud to introduce a new feature - Gotham College's "Beast of the Week" presented by Mattingly Baseball!
ITEM OF THE WEEK! This week's highlight from the world of collectibles is this impressive photo of Art Shamsky, from his private collection from ArtShamsky.com. Available with a personal salutation and frame, it is more than just a collectible. Perfect for a home office, or a memorable gift for your favorite baseball fan.
(Editor's Note) On Sept. 9, 1999, the world said goodbye to Jim Hunter. Better known as "Catfish", the moniker hung on him by Charlie O'Finley, the daffy owner of the Oakland A's, Hunter suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that attacks nerves in the
spinal cord and brain that control muscle movement. Whether a Yankee fan, A's fan or a pure baseball fan, "Catfish" was a pitcher to admire and cheer for. Shortly before he passed, Marty Appel took a moment to remember his career. As always, Marty's eloquence shines in this piece, originally published in Yankees Magazine. Let's go remember one of the game's greats. - MH
Who was rougher on Gotham’s Division I teams this week, teams from the
Southern power conferences, or the weather? No upsets this weekend, as
Rutgers, who got a win against top 25 programs each of the past three
weekends, struggled, losing all three contests to a program not as
highly regarded, Iowa.
UPDATE - Check out the latest DII and DIII results from around the region!
