The Yankees misplaced their 14th recreation out of the final 18 final night time, dropping to the Purple Sox in 10 innings, 5-3, however someway they nonetheless introduced house a dub. One of many best MLB franchises ever simply dropped a bobblehead honoring one of many best sitcoms ever, by honoring certainly one of their best workers. Not Jeter. Not Gehrig. Not even George Herman Ruth, or George Steinbrenner, however fairly a unique George. Final night time, they dropped a bobblehead in honor of their former assistant to the touring secretary, George Costanza… and yada, yada, yada, it’s actual, and it’s spectacular. It’s about time the Yankees partnered with Vandalay Industries. Seinfeld stays an iconic traditional sitcom. And I do know the older I get and the longer I maintain on to this take, the increasingly I sound like my mother and father honking Three’s Firm or my grandparents testifying that The Andy Griffith Present continues to be the best sitcom of all time. However I really feel like I nonetheless have a number of extra years to face by this take earlier than my millennial ass enters boomer territory. Seinfeld is on Netflix proper now, so go begin it. The primary season or two could be a chore to get by, like most reveals, however as soon as it will get right into a grove, it doesn’t look again for 9 seasons – which is nearly half as many seasons because it’s been because the Yankees gained a World Sequence.
Look, it’s not typically I’ll give the Evil Empire their props, however right here I’ve to tip my cap like that little child at Jeter’s final recreation. Right here’s hoping Yankee Stadium went full Seinfeld and stocked the concession stands with pretzels that make folks thirsty.
P.S. Larry David’s story of firing George Steinbrenner is an all-time story.
