THIS BOY LOVES TO HIT: This is the day Ben Rice made his uniform number, #93, a famous number in Yankee history. I'm 65 and I have never seen a Yankee rookie do what this kid did in one day. I think he has the Babe and Lou Gehrig smiling over his shoulder. And Mickey and Roger and maybe Thurman too.
been saying it for 3 years - bring up the farm system. Not surprised of this kid - athletic, great swing, great mind set - someone to build a team around. Dump the dead wood ruining this team. We know who they are.
If he never gets another hit in the major leagues, Ben Rice can tell his grandchildren that he had a curtain call at Yankee Stadium, and that’s pretty damn awesome.
