New York YANKEES spring training thread......... 2 days until season starts: LETS GO YANKEES!

[briannnnn]

Today was the media day for the Yankees (when their MLB mugshots and other pics are taken for the press) so expect to see plenty of pics posted (eventually). From what I've read on LoHud, CC looked pretty sharp pitching BP.

TAMPA, Fla. -- A pair of familiar faces appeared Thursday at the New York Yankees' spring training camp for the first time this year: owner George Steinbrenner and outfielder Bernie Williams.
Steinbrenner arrived at about 10 a.m., was brought from the parking lot to Steinbrenner Field in a golf cart, then was transferred to a wheelchair near a bank of elevators before going up to his office. The 78-year-old has been increasingly frail in recent years.

Williams, who has not played since 2006, changed into a uniform in the Yankees' clubhouse and prepared to work out with the team. The 40-year-old, a five-time All-Star during 16 seasons with the Yankees, is getting ready to play for Puerto Rico in next month's World Baseball Classic.
The Boss really got into bad shape quick

Bernie wants to play again....he knows it

Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras won't be going to the WBC. They didn't even know they were on the provisional roster.
· Damaso Marte (hamstrings) won't be running for at least the rest of the week. You have to think this could exclude him from the WBC.

· Derek Jeter and Joe Girardi met with George Steinbrenner as did Bernie Williams, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira. All said they had pleasant conversations with him. He was taken from his car to the stadium in a golf cart and then moved to a wheelchair to get up to his office.

· Alex Rodriguez commented briefly about how the first two days have been for him, saying the fans have been welcoming and that he is enjoying his time on the field. He seemed a little subdued.

· Bernie will be here until he leaves for the Puerto Rican camp on March 2. He went through the drills with all the other players and took batting practice. His immediate goal is to "not embarrass myself." But Bernie also talked wistfully about returning to baseball if the WBC goes well for him.

· We spoke to CC Sabathia after he threw and he was pleased with how it went. He also revealed that his first start this spring would be March 6. That lines up for Opening Day on April 6 in Baltimore.

· Nick Swisher's music choice after the workout was Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne.

You can find more of the pics on Yahoo. Some of these look like they will make great emoticons:

Psht, please...

But happy CC is happy:

The Wanger

Joba looking mad sad (

that he still got that flat-brimmed cap)

More pics can be found here. Theystart at around page 3 of the gallery.

Some other pics from Reuters:

Bruney looks like he is wearing his cap from last year

Take the glasses off Edwar Ramirez and he looks 40+...he and Jose Veras look very...questionable in this shot.

And another photo of the Yankees players at the A-Rod press conference. Nice Jordan shirt CC is wearing:

I have like 10 of em in the stash

Edit- This guy, must be leftover excitement from the moves Walsh made this afternoon.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Oh, I read wrong.

I didn't read "underbrims". Thought they changed the away jersey for a second.

 

[yoda]

I think I might have a steady flow of grey brims from this mom and pop shop by me..If anyone wants a definitive answer, I can find out next week.
