Thanks Blade. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, we have a new thread for the new season.

http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/18090.htm

Quote:

April 3, 2004 -- A-Rod may be the Yankees' new multimillion-dollar golden boy, but Derek Jeter is still captain of the female fan's heart.
By a 3-2 margin, women picked the Yankees' soft-eyed shortstop over third baseman Alex Rodriguez as the Bronx Bomber they would most like to have blast a home run over their fence, according to a new survey by a national dating service.

"He's a good-looking guy, and he has a cute personality," said Nancy Kirsch, of It's Just Lunch, the date company that found 59 percent of women call eligible bachelor Jeter their heartthrob, while 41 percent preferred the married A-Rod.

Jeter - the team's captain who was the biggest star before A-Rod's arrival - may have been helped a little because women questioned in the survey found shortstops to be the second-sexiest position on the field.

A-Rod had been the game's premier shortstop, but moved to third base in deference to Jeter when he came to New York from Texas this year.

The only position that women found sexier than shortstop was pitcher.

In fact, nearly half the women surveyed said that rubber-toeing mound masters could fire them up a fastball anytime.

Outfielders, for some reason, were the least sexy, with only 7 percent of women preferring them.

The survey also found that single women across America are singing a new tune, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" - on a date.

More than two-thirds of U.S. females think a baseball game is a great place to go with a new beau.

What's more, around three-quarters of American females think a ballpark is a prime place to go to meet men.

"Something like a baseball game is casual, it's fun," said Kirsch.

"There's not a lot of pressure to talk if you don't want to talk. Though if you want to talk, there's a lot going on that can lend itself to a lot of easy casual conversation."

Another plus for going to a ballgame is that it gives men a chance to be chivalrous.

Some 84 percent of men who took the survey said they would hand over a home-run ball to a date if they caught one.

Hey you guys [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] thanks for the title...

**ROCKSTAR** · 04-04-2004, 11:45 PM

Sure. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And hey, where's everybody???

Quote:

Sixty seconds with Yankees catcher Jorge Posada
By THE JOURNAL NEWS

You've signed a lot of autographs in your career. If you could get any autograph, whose would you choose?

"Roberto Clemente. Not only was he a great player, but he was such an important person to so many people. He was a great, great man, and if I could have any autograph, I'd want his. But what I'd really like to do is just sit down and talk with him. I'd like to talk to him about baseball, but I'd also like to talk to him about other things. About life. About the things that were important to him."

What about when people ask you for your autograph. It probably gets old, especially with all the yelling and screaming, but isn't it a kick when somebody asks?

"Sure it is. You can tell when somebody wants your autograph because it's you or if somebody is a collector. You can tell a collector. When a little kid asks for your autograph on a piece of paper, you know it's just for him and he's not going to sell it. I like signing those."

You've always shown an interest in baseball history. If you could go back in time and witness any event in baseball history, which one would it be?

"I don't know if I could choose just one. Roberto Clemente's 3,000th hit would be one. But the one that stands out would be Jackie Robinson's first game. That was so important and it changed everything about the game. If I had to choose just one, I think that would be it."

In talking about history, how about your Yankee teams? Where will they rank?

"I'm not sure, it might be too early to say because we're still going. This team has accomplished a lot and I think we deserve to be considered as one of the great Yankee teams, but I think we're capable of accomplishing a lot more. We have some great players, and because of Joe Torre, we have this attitude of confidence. There's no guarantee of anything, but I like our team and I think we're capable of some great things."

Hi everyone [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] welcome to the new thread!

And hope you're all holding on to your Yankees caps for the 16-19th April, where our boys get to play the Red Sux! Should be entertaining!

~*Silly*~ · 04-05-2004, 08:07 AM

Yes it should [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] i'm excited...

Mariael311 · 04-05-2004, 11:34 AM

Thanks, Silly for the new thread! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nikki- thanks for all those articles! Jorge is so cute! I loved how he is so much eager to give a fan an autgraph instead of a collector! And how so many women think DJ is hotter that ARod! [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Personally, if Andy was still on the team, I would say he is the hottest! I just love to see him trot to the mound, [img]smilies/thud.gif[/img]

[reverie] · 04-05-2004, 12:08 PM

Hey everybody! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm Reverie, a huge Yankee fan.

Really lookin' forward to this year's campaign! It'll be so sweet if (when?) the Yankees win it all in October. Goodness knows they have a lot of competition (not to mention pressure) to deal with. This year especially.

Moose is my most favorite, and I'm really sad that Andy Petitte is gone. Sigh.

Go Yankees!
