    I have been in love with baseball for nearly seventy years. Compared to other sports, baseball is hands down the best game. I've seen countless Hall of Famers grace the diamond, but no player I've seen in my life is better than Aaron Judge.

    YES would not be YES without Michael Kay. He is also one of the best friends you can have in life.
    Just wanted to tell everyone what is going on. I went to see a specialist in Boston today and he recommended I have surgery to correct an issue with my vocal cord. I will have the surgery next week and will be out for about a month, starting with today’s game and radio show.

    I know what a labor of love this was for both @dcone36 and @JackCurryYES. It was so worth the wait; what a terrific read! Congrats! And please don’t ask me for a raise.
    Ecstatic to announce that ⁦@dcone36⁩ and me have made The NY Times Best Seller list. We debut at #13 in Nonfiction on the upcoming list. Thanks to David for being a great collaborator. Thanks to all who helped during this process. This is really cool.

    I am proud and humbled by all who works at YES. 13 Emmy awards last Sat. night encompassing every major category was a statement. Awards are very subjective, many nominees deserving..but passion for the product, commitment to excellence are both real and tangible. #VeryGrateful

    How great is this tweet? Your dad is special!
    Jumped down a Baseball Reference rabbit hole and decided to quiz Howie on something. I was expecting him to say no. And this is why he’s the 🐐.
