One thought though: Usually manager Joe Girardi has been going with Thames in left field and sitting Gardner against lefties. What they might consider doing is starting both Randy Winn and Thames against the lefties-or possibly even consider pulling Rocco Baldelli out of the Tampa Bay Rays’ front office if Winn can’t do the job.

New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Al Messerschmidt The next year, racial pressure on Robinson eased, as one number of other black players entered the major leagues. Larry Doby and Satchel Paige were signed by the Cleveland Indians, and the Dodgers added three other black players besides Robinson.
The Yankees signed outfielder Marcus Thames this season to do one job-hit lefties.

Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so far Thames’ outfield defense has been pretty atrocious, but nights like last night 3-for-3 with one double and an RBI make it hard to stay mad at him.

Try these numbers on for size: 8 G, 16 AB, 3 R, 10 H, 3 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 4 K, .625 AVG, .684 OBP, 1.000 SLG, 1.684 OPS.


Both Brett Gardner and Curtis Granderson are far superior to him defensively, and it is always painful to watch Thames flail at balls in the outfield that either one of the speedsters could have gotten to, but consider these numbers against lefties:

Feb. 13, 2010 -- Gardner eyes starting role in 2010 4 April 22, 2010 -- Notes and Quotes: More on Hughes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Bullpen, and the Lineup 0 March 24, 2010 -- Your Starting Center Fielder: Curtis Granderson 0 March 13, 2010 -- Yanks Shake Off Rainy Doldrums to Beat the O-Birds 1 Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.

So even though Thames’ defense is tough to stomach, so are the numbers the regular outfielders, with the exception of Nick Swisher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have put up against southpaws.
