YORKSILANDY?

George Bernard Shaw, while writing a concert review, remarked on the first name of the violinist, “Frangicon”

”Surely the burden of his stupendous Christian name must destine him for greatness.”

One can only hope the same for Yorkislandy

Interesting thing about that sign is that it doesn't have the 2012 Wild card, 2014 Division win or 2016 Wild Card on it.  Guess making new signs isn't in the budget.

Nobody cares much about the wildcard era.

I noticed that the sign on the concourse behind home plate, which used to list only our pennant-winning teams, now lists all the teams that have made the playoffs.   I guess they decided that not having anything to list from the last 35 years wasn’t a good look.
