Happy Anniversary! 65 years ago today, Tigers' pitcher Frank Lary laid down a bunt in a regular season game. This bunt meant the world to Eddie in Queens. It didn't mean quite as much to Mike Francesa.
Kevin Costner revealed that when they were filming For Love of the Game, then-Yankees owner George Steinbrenner refused to let them use Yankee Stadium because the Yankees lost in the movie.
Kevin Costner: I call up George. He's a legendary guy, difficult guy, and I wasn't certain how I was going to go about doing this, but so much was riding on it.
And so I called him up and I said, "Hello, George."
He goes, "Hello, Kev!"
And I said, "Hi, George."
He goes, "What do you need, Kev?"
And I said, "Well, George, we're not... it sounds like we can't come to Yankee Stadium."
He goes, "That's right!"
And I'm thinking to myself, Where's my dad? I need somebody to help me with this. I don't know what to say to this guy.
I said, "George, but we had a contract."
He goes, "I know that, but I can't let it happen, Kev."
And I said, "All right, George, you want to explain that to me, why?"
He goes, "Well, the Yankees lose."
"The Yankees what?"
"They lose. Can't let that happen, Kev."
There are other small parts to this Jacob Markstrom-Evan Rodrigues trade. New Jersey did not retain salary on Markstrom, whose two-year extension ($6M AAV) kicks in next season.
