WHY SWISHER & ROBERTSON ARE FAN FAVORITES

I guess it’s no surprise. Nick Swisher is larger than life in the Bronx and even if you don’t love him, you appreciate him being in pinstripes. David Robertson seized the moment in 2011 and in my mind has become one of the most effective relievers in the game today…and beyond.

So when we decided to do a Bleeding Yankee Blue poll asking you to vote on which Yankee interview was your favorite, Ya’ll picked 2 current Yankees instead of past Yankee greats. Good for you! The right answer of course is every BYB Exclusive interview with these Yankees players was the best, but I’m biased. Here's the breakdown:

Let’s chat about it. Nick Swisher and David Robertson both received 11 votes each, a tie in both interviews, we had some pretty important information about each of their charities. David & Erin Robertson and their High Socks for Hope is important because it gives help the Robertson's to rebuild David’s hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama after a Tornado wiped it out in April last year. Swish has his Swish’s Wishes which gives to under privileged kids and that is equally important. You guys saw that and hopefully you reached out to help too.

The next favorite Yankee interview was with the Warrior, Paul O’Neill. Another important interview because he too has his Right Field Charities. That interview received 7 votes. After that with 3 votes each was Mickey Rivers, one of our first interviews, Homer Bush and Chuck Knoblauch. That was followed with Scott Brosius, Dante Bichette Jr and Roy White. Over all, I have to say, all these guys were terrific and had a lot to say. If you haven’t read all the interviews yet, you should, just click on their names in this post and read away. There are a lot of nuggets, for instance, did you know that the player that Paul O’Neill impersonated as a kid was Willie Mays? Did you know Roy White played baseball in Japan? Did you know Scott Brosius is still in baseball but on a college level? It’s all in there and knowledge is key.

Thanks to everyone who voted in our poll. More to follow… I swear.
