Sometimes the best you can do is hold down the fort.



Sometimes the best you can do is hold down the fort.

That's what Bobby Murcer and Roy White did. In between Mickey and Whitey and Yogi and the later crew with Thurman and Craig and Reggie.....they kept the Yankee fans in the game. They were the stars. They came to play every day and did the best they could. They weren't the greatest Yankees by any stretch of the imagination.

But they were "True Yankees."

Don Mattingly was their only real star in the lost years.

I always had a lot of respect for Roy White..he carried over to the good teams in the late 70's didn't he? I seem to remember him playing left @ Royals Stadium in those great games.
