Yankees radio broadcaster Dave Sims discusses the Yankees’ hectic week on his Instagram.

Behind the NY

The Yankees continued to upload episodes of their YouTube series, Behind the NY.

Welcome back, Paulie!

Over the first couple of weeks of the regular season, the YES broadcast rotated David Cone and Joe Girardi alongside Michael Kay. But you know who was conspicuously missing? That’s right — the Warrior himself, Paul O’Neill. Well, at long last, the former Yankees right fielder made his season debut at the ballpark.

The Game Belt

The Game Belt got passed around quite a bit this week.

Batting practice with the WPBL

The Yankees invited the players from the new Women’s Professional Baseball League to take batting practice at Yankee Stadium last weekend, a show of support for the new league, which launches this summer.

The House of Horrors Returns

Guess what’s back! That’s right — the Trop. (chorus of boos and hisses) Yeah, I’m not happy about it either. At least the Rays finally have something that resembles concrete plans for a new ballpark. Of course, the Trop did give us our first “opposing mascot attempts to troll with Meredith Marakovitz during the pregame show.” As the YES Network account said, she truly is a mascot whisperer, and handles their shenanigans like a champ.

Banana Ball

The Savannah Bananas will be playing at Yankee Stadium next weekend, as the Bombers are on the road. One of their players posted to Instagram to express his excitement over fulfilling his childhood dream of playing at Yankee Stadiuim.
