August 4, 2003
Tiptoeing through the all-time Yankees roster, some 1,300 names from Abbott, Jim, to Zuvella, Paul, and uncovering some interesting nuggets.
HAIL TO THE CHIEF
An all-Yankees team made up of players whose names are presidential:
1b -- Cliff JOHNSON
2b -- Homer BUSH
SS -- Enrique WILSON
3b -- Charlie HAYES
LF -- Claudell WASHINGTON
CF -- Otis NIXON
RF -- Reggie JACKSON
C --Zack TAYLOR
DH -- Reggie JACKSON
P -- Whitey FORD
P -- Zack MONROE
P -- Dave MADISON
COMING OR GOING?
Three Yankees whose names are palindromes, i.e., spelled the same backward and forward:
Truck HANNAH
Toby HARRAH
Mark SALAS
WHOOZAT?
An all-Yankees team of players whose name didn't fit in the box score:
1b -- Marv THRONEBERRY
2b -- Bobby RICHARDSON
SS -- Roger PECKINPAUGH
3b -- Mike PAGLIARULO
LF -- Pete INCAVIGLIA
CF -- Stan BORDAGARAY
RF -- Darryl STRAWBERRY
C -- Fred JACKLITSCH
DH -- Jim WALEWANDER
P -- Mel STOTTLEMYRE
P -- Bill MONBOUQUETTE
P -- Paul ASSENMACHER
P -- Scott KAMIENIECKI
A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
1b -- BABE Dahlgren
2b -- BLONDY Ryan
SS -- LYN Lary
3b -- QUEENIE O'Rourke
LF -- ELLIE Howard
CF -- LIZ Funk
RF -- ANGEL Aragon
C -- BUBBLES Hargrave
DH -- HONEY Barnes
P -- CUDDLES Marshall
P -- LYNN McGlothen
P -- ROSY Ryan
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
It's a pity these Yankees never played together. If they had, you can imagine some road secretary with a sense of humor, pairing them up as roommates:
ABBOTT (Jim) and COSTELLO (Dan)
BURNS (George) and ALLEN (Bernie)
BELL (John) and HOWELL (Jay)
HAMILTON (Steve) and BURR (Alex)
LEWIS (Duffy) and CLARK (Allie)
FRENCH (Ray)/FREY (Lonnie)
FRIEND (Bob) and BUDDIE (mike)
HOLMES (Darren) and WATSON (Bob)
REED (Jack) and WRIGHT (Ken)
YOUNG (Curt) and OLDRING (Rube)
HILL (Glenallen) and DALE (Berra)
LOCK (Don) and KEY (Jimmy)
LONG (Dale) and SHORT (Billy)
MARTIN (Billy) and LEWIS (Jim)
MASON (Jim) and DIXON (Sonny)
MOORE (Wilcy) and MOORE (Archie)
HALL (Mel) and OATES (Johnny)
HUNT (Ken) and PECK (Steve)
KING (Clyde) and QUEEN (Mel)
ASHFORD (Tucker) and SIMPSON (Harry)
ROGERS (Steve) and HART (Jim Ray)
RICE (Harry) and BEENE (Fred)
LOVE (Slim) and BLISS (Elmer)
MATTHEW LUKE and JOHN (Tommy)
