YES Network produces a lot of content covering the Yankees' farm system. Their main scriptwriter was a Railriders beat reporter I might be wrong but this smells like Michael Kay is appeasing a YES or Yankees exec who disapproved of Kay speaking so candidly

I highly recommend Mike Ford's 2015 senior thesis at Princeton: "The Dominican Pipeline: Major League Baseball and the Dominican Republic since the 1960s" arks.princeton.edu/ark:/88435/d...

Gary Phillips@garyhphillips.bsky.social · 4w agoBen Rice is going to the Home Run Derby, and so is his dad, a former pitcher at Brown. “That was always a lifelong dream of both of ours, so I’m really looking forward to it,” said the younger Rice, who joked that he'll have to remind his dad to avoid breaking balls. #Yankees

Velodus✨@velodus.bsky.social · 4w ago5 years ago, I posted a video on Ruben Rivera (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng6s...) that I put a ton of work into and I was heartbroken to learn that this video about Rivera that Pearlman posted not only lifts tons of photos and videos directly from my video, but does it without any attribution.
