Kenny and I ventured into NYC to Mickey Mantle’s Restaurant on Tuesday Night for ex-Yank Roy White’s press conference to announce he was starting this year’s Runyon’s 5K Race at Yankee Stadium. In addition to eating some delicious food and mingling with various runners, we had a few minutes to listen to Roy talk about his playing experience with the New York Yankees. Mr. White played alongside Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, and Reggie Jackson. How many Yankees can attest to that? Mr. White was an even nicer person and had a lot of interesting facts to share that not many fans may know..

The Yankees start a three-game series in Cincinnati tonight against the Reds. While these two teams have enjoyed recent success, their past successes should not be forgotten. These two teams dominated the late ’70s, taking home four of five World Series titles, including Cincy’s sweep of the Bombers in the ’76 World Series. Cincinnati’s ‘Big Red Machine’ is regarded by many as one of the top teams of all-time. The Yankee teams of the late ’70s were dysfunctional, but extremely successful. Few remember the importance of the 1976 season, though. After a two-year hiatus for renovations, the Bombers came back home to the Bronx.

Adam and I got to meet and talk with Nick Swisher tonight. Let me tell you, he’s no different in person than he seems on television. He was running around, shaking everyone’s hand, putting people in headlocks, trashing the Red Sox, talking about his ADD. He was constantly telling all of us that you need to do something that you love and you’ll always be just as happy as he is. That’s the key in life.

Overall though, the guy is a riot. We got to do a quick interview with him and here’s what he had to offer:
