What you may not know is that Vince is a HUGE Yankees fan. HUGE. So never assume what people's motivations are! He wouldn't have mentioned Jeter at all, probably, otherwise! Hi Abby!

(Felt a little out numbered as a Yankee fan, esp. when Gennaro said at that historic moment, "Jeter hit 3,000, now we can all move on.") Enjoying your site. Abby It was nice meeting you at SABR 2011!

So stuff that happens at 10am before a 1pm game, happens at 4pm for a 7pm game, etc. For an evening game some players might arrive even earlier to get in extra work in the batting cages and the like (though there were days when I got to the press box at 7am and Don Mattingly was already in the cage with someone at that hour, so that happens in the mornings too).

I have a quick question about warm up times. I went to two games last year but they were both day games. I got some good autographs - Reggie Jackson, Mickey Rivers, Johnny Damon - but this year we are going to two night games and I was wondering if you knew of a good time to go down to the practice field to get autographs. Any suggestions? Thanks, Alex Cecilia,

I would think Linz would know, but ballplayers also have notoriously bad memories and forget which parts of their stories are embellishments and which are actually true. If I run into Linz, Whitey, and/or Yogi this spring training, I'll see what they say, but it doesn't mean they're right! Douglas, good question.

He said that the famous harmonica was broken into three pieces by Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford took them and won't give them back. However, on Wikipedia, it says the harmonica is in a collection.
