Just leave a comment with your favorite story concerning the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. When me and my brother were watching Game 7 of the ALCS in 2003 and I noticed that Bret Boone was in the broadcast booth, I turned to him and said, "What do you think Bret would say if his brother just ended it right here?" Sure enough he did just that and it was bedlam in the the Bronx. Please share your great stories.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.howtobleedpinstripes.com/">How To Bleed Pinstripes</a></p> http://www.pinstripealley.com/2009/4/22/848835/why-nick-swisher-is-a-godsend-for duffsta328 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:33:22 -0000 <p>Now we all know how much of a polarizing person Alex Rodriguez can be, and all of us in the Bronx are quickly learning how much of a media darling Nick Swisher can be. To say he's a litte out there would be an understatement. The contrast between these guys is staggering. When Alex Rodriguez comes back to the team sometime in mid-May he may want to look to Swisher for a perfect example. I'm not saying that A-Rod has to act all out there and be really loud, but just not be totally absent like he seems on so many occasions. I also think Swisher will make easier on him because he's just that kind of guy. I know we all have our opinions on whether team chemistry really matters. Either way it's something the Yankees have lacked for a while. But I can tell you that the scrutinity that Alex has come under has definitely hindered him. It just gives him something to worry about. With the presence of such a happy go lucky guy like Nick Swisher, brighter days may be ahead for A-Rod. He's just going to have to let someone help him. If he's up for it.</p> <p>For more Yankees news check out <a href="http://www.howtobleedpinstripes.com/">How To Bleed Pinstripes</a>.</p>
