I think the NY logo deserves its own article. In all of the talk page archives there seems to be some debate about it. The symbol, it seems, came about before the Yankees adopted it, and its use these days obviously extends far beyond baseball. There are kids in outer Mongolia wearing Yankeees caps - and I doubt they even know what baseball or New York is (althougt, noticeably, the page [[Baseball cap]] makes no reference to the archtypal blue cap and its many varieties). - [[Special:Contributions/121.208.89.99|121.208.89.99]] ([[User talk:121.208.89.99|talk]]) 02:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC) |

Current Roster (2008)
What idiot made it say that Brian Bruney is on the 15 Day DL?? If you know anything about sports or watch ESPN, you should know that today (4-25-08) it was announced that Brian Bruney would miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his foot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DfraseR13 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Retired Section
The number 21 was reissued for a spring training game against the Pirates on March 13th, 2008 to a back-up player who did not start but was later inserted into the game. O'Neill explained on air that Brain Cashman had phoned him, saying the Yankees would reissue his number. Whether or not it will be worn in the future is unknown. (anon)
It was given to Morgan Ensberg at the start of spring training. However, until its actually worn in a regular season game, it hasn't actually been re-issued. JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Alternate jersey
I'm removing the reference to the Tigers never having worn an alt jersey - UniWatch says that they had one in 1995 (although it was short-lived)[1]. I'll add this to the Tigers article... after I create a section on their uniforms, perhaps. SixFourThree (talk) 20:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree
All-Star Game
THere's a line that says that the All-Star Game is being played at Yankee Satdium in 2008 because the new Yankee Satadiumis being built in Macombs Dam Park. Aside from not making any sense (siounds like the decison was made because of where the new stadium will be), it's uncited...there is no MLB rule that states that the All-Star game is played in a certain stadium because it's closing (why isn't the game being played at Shea?). 162.136.192.1 (talk) 18:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's not a rule, it's just a decision that MLB made. Yankee Stadium has a unique historical importance that far surpasses that of any other ballpark. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 19:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- I changed the wording to make it a little clearer why the All-Star Game is being played there this year. I'm sure it would be nice to honor Shea also, but they only have the one game. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 19:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Logo
I think the NY logo deserves its own article. In all of the talk page archives there seems to be some debate about it. The symbol, it seems, came about before the Yankees adopted it, and its use these days obviously extends far beyond baseball. There are kids in outer Mongolia wearing Yankeees caps - and I doubt they even know what baseball or New York is (althougt, noticeably, the page Baseball cap makes no reference to the archtypal blue cap and its many varieties). - 121.208.89.99 (talk) 02:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
