PRE-ORDER JACK CURRY'S NEW BOOK ABOUT THE 1998 YANKEES!

This is a quick note. If you love baseball and the New York Yankees like I do, many times you get sucked into who you read when you read about them in the newspaper. For me, that goes back to Jack Curry when he was with the New York Times and my guy Pete Caldera with the Bergen Record.  Yup, I'm showing my age here, but that's how much I admire these guys and how long I've been reading them, and it just goes to show you how I even dipped my toe in the journalism pool as well, creating Bleeding Yankee Blue all the way back in 2010. Since then, I've interviewed both of them for Bleeding Yankee Blue. While these interviews are old at this point, they are worth a read again. Check out:

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: JACK CURRY (2011)

NO ONE DOES THE YANKEES BETTER THAN PETE CALDERA (2012)

Caldera also did an audio interview with BYB during COVID in 2020. You can hear that at: 

THE GREAT PETE CALDERA TALKS COIVD-19, CC SABATHIA & THE ASTROS CHEATING SCANDAL!

So, what the heck am I talking about? Oh yeah, my journalism idols and what Jack Curry is doing right now.

A little while ago, Jack Curry put out this Tweet below about his new book coming out in May and how he wants true Yankee fans like you and me to pre-order it.  The book is called "The Inside story of the Greatest Team ever: The 1998 Yankees". Check out Jack's video tweet:

Now look, I have no dog in this fight only to tell you that when it comes to the good guys, THE REALLY GOOD GUYS, Jack and Pete are my guys. Fine journalists, good and honest people.

Jack put this tweet out and all he asks is that you check out his book, maybe preorder it.  That's it.

Why am I helping? Because I want to be that guy and I try to be and have been for a long time here at Bleeding Yankee Blue. It's not easy to be a Yankee blogger. You get a ton of heat for your opinions. But there is a respect level when it comes from guys like Jack, Pete, Lorenz, Hoch and many others. They understand I'm trying to cut my teeth in this biz, they respect it even though the world I'm in isn't exactly how they started. And so yea, I try to give back to my idols.  I've been to the Carnegie Club a few times to support Pete Caldera and watch him croon and I will continue to do that when I can. In addition, any time guys like Jack and Pete have anything going on, consider this the place to help them promote it.  Hands down 2 of my favs!

So, check out Jack's video above, listen to his wish and pre order THE 1998 YANKEES, coming out in May!

Hey Jack and Pete, hope you're ok with the love fest! Let's get ready for the 2023 season!
