The Yankees made a pretty good start to Spring Training with two wins and two losses in the four games they played before the end of February:
25/2 Win vs Florida State University Seminoles 8-3
26/2 Loss vs Pittsburgh Pirates 5-6
27/2 Loss vs Pittsburgh Pirates 2-8
28/2 Win vs Detroit Tigers 7-4
The Yankees had a busy month in January and they managed to fill most of the most obvious gaps on their roster.

So a couple of weeks into the New Year, what seems to be likely to appear here in 2014 and what else will I be involved in?
And then to the fourth and final part of this survey with our overview of the men who might take the mound for the Yankees in 2014. Again, some old favourites, some trying to enhance their reputation and some new arrivals………
And so we come to the third part of our survey and the offensive players who are currently on the 40-man roster……. those who have stayed, those who have arrived and those we might meet for the first time:
The Yankees have some crucial spots to fill in 2014 as their two leading pitchers retire and a number of others head elsewhere. Here we list all the arms who contributed, good or bad, in 2013:
Well, most of our readers who follow the newspaper advertisements or internet will know that Eagles are touring the UK and Europe in 2014. What do we know about that tour?
The Yankees used a colossal number of players in 2013. Most of them were short term attempts to cover for injuries and didn’t work out too well. Over our next few articles we’ll be surveying those who went, those who stayed and how things look for next year. Let’s start with those who spent time at the plate:
What: Richard II by William Shakespeare
Where: Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
When: November 2013
Richard II is not Shakespeare’s best known play. In fact, nobody I spoke to prior to seeing the current production could tell me the whole plot and storyline.
David Tennant is probably the UK’s best known Shakespearean actor. He has achieved this status not for his work on Shakespeare’s plays but because he is an extraordinarily well-known actor who also performs in Shakespeare. His fame comes primarily from his role as Dr Who – even within that role, within the last few days, he was voted the nation’s most popular Doctor.
(A meditation on Mariano Rivera, Cooperstown and a tenuous link with Bruce Springsteen)
It’s June of 2011 and we’re sitting in a diner in Cooperstown, New York, waiting for our orders to be served when “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” by Bruce Springsteen begins to play on the jukebox. Now this is a song I’ve listened to a thousand times but this afternoon, it seems so right and seems to capture exactly the spirit of our trip across New York State.
