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.

As managers trot out one prospect after another, and painstakingly

some fun, or manufactured excitement, players and fans alike get a
little giddy.
