Hey YES Network.....how about paying tribute to some of these old timers with some game clips from some WS games in the 60's AT LEAST! Is the YES Network even here because of the NY YANKEES? Yankee HISTORY is important. Its like yelling at a wall.

I would love to see footage and hear various interviews from guys like Moose and Hank,etc all those 1950 Yankees that many of us saw at old timers day but never got to see play in their heyday.

Yankeeography is a good thing YES does but they could a hell of a lot more ! will have to add that one to my list Craner. Yeah,I dont get it with YES. I'm not interested in seeing a game from 3 years ago that they call a" classic". Half the time I see those games on tv,I'm trying to figure out what was so classic about them. Yankees have a treasure trove of lore, a ton of subjects they could cover, and they dont event come close to skimming the surface. Basically I tune in at 7 during the season and turn the channel off for the reminder of the year when the season is over because there is zero original programming. All they have to do is package some old interviews and highlights on players and throw them up on the channel., doesnt have to be a Sanctioned Yankeeography. I'm pretty easy going, I would watch a program on Andy Stankiewicz's magical 92 season if they had one Just make some original Yankee shows. A Micheal Kay talk show, and New Jersey basketball aint for me, I'm not sitting though that crap.

craner7 Posts: 12,782	So very very true. Been after YES for yrs on this subject. They dont even respond. The richest hisory in sports.....aggravating. Yea get that book....they go through the Yankee history and have only players commenting....like a rolling talk show.
