Rest In Peace.
Couldn’t happen to a classier man. Absolute travesty that he and Thurman are not in the HOF.
He’ll have to outlive Boone

Like many others as kids in the 80s, this poster was on my walls for years! My favorite Yankee of all time.

I don't like either team, so I will relish the disappointment of the loser. Unfortunately, that's what it has come to.
Blue Jays’ Don Mattingly, a superstar servant to the players, finally gets his World Series moment

So the Yankees are loaded with incompetents in the front office and in the dugout and they choose to start with firing some minor coaches and TV announcers. Once again, they are clueless.

Yes doesn’t sneeze without orders.
While the Yankees are the majority shareholder of YES, they currently own less than 30% of the shares. Its management structure is totally different and separate from the structure of the baseball team. Like Cashman on the baseball side, the head of YES and his minions run the operations. Hal might have say over certain operational decisions but this didn’t not come from him. YES’ management team are highly respected individuals most of whom made their bones elsewhere.
This is a restructuring meant to get the best of the on-air talent they have to actually do more on air and cutting down on the rotating casts of thousands they use before, during and after the games while hopefully improving on the content.
While I will miss Flash, I will not miss most of the others who are not returning.
Cashman is still here because the team consistently makes the playoffs, make money and he stays within the financial parameters set by Hal all of which is what he wants.
Boone is still here because he follows the analytics, is not too hard on the players and they make the playoffs which is what Cashman wants.
Of course there is the conspiracy theory that Michael Kay got Flaherty fired.

So you believe this decision was independent of Yankees management.Maybe MK should’ve gone too.
If they got rid of only folks that were consistently negative regarding the Yankees play, then there be more of a case for this shot being called by the Yankee management but that is not the case here.
Michael Kay is their most popular and highest paid announcer. He isn’t going anywhere. He is the one constant they have. They would love to have more Paul O’Neil, David Cone and Joe Girardi.
