While I was looking for articles for my weekly coffee news round up on my other blog, Daily Shot Of Coffee, I came across this story, Damon cuts caffeine, back in lineup: Outfielder hopeful that less coffee will help ‘fluttering eyes.’
Last Thursday, when the Yankees were playing their rivals the Boston Red Sox, a Yankees outfielder, Johnny Damon fumbled and dropped a routine popup. Damon has been under performing in the field, at bat and this error in the outfield was a perfect example of it. Luckily, the Red Sox weren’t able to take advantage of the error, but they did go on to beat the Yankees.
Not really, the kind of story you’d expect to find when researching coffee news, but Damon and the Yankees are blaming his subpar performance on the poor, defenseless coffee he drinks. He only drinks three coffees or energy drinks to get him going, but the Yankees medical staff have ordered him to cut back on his caffeine intake. He’s been complaining that his eyes fluttering and they think caffeine might be the cause.
I hope it works, but on Saturday he had a caffeine headache and went 0-4 (which, is very bad) in the Yankees loss to their other rival, the New York Mets. If he doesn’t show some improvement today, I think he should start drinking more coffee.

The ultimate Father’s Day Gift is taking him to a Yankee game. Even at the inflated prices of the New Yankee Stadium, nothing beats two tickets, a couple of beers and some random stadium food with your dad.
However, that’s not always an option, especially if they live a couple of thousand miles away from each other an Yankee Stadium. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get him something Yankee related.
Yankee Stadium: Baseball’s Cathedral DVD (With Collectable Ticket & Coin)
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this DVD. I’ve even had non-Yankee fans say it was moving. If your father has ever been to a game at Yankee stadium, he’ll love this DVD.
Baseball’s epicenter sits at 161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx, New York. For more than 80 years, fans and ballplayers have congregated on sultry summer days and chilly October nights to witness history. They cheer their hearts out, realize their dreams and heal their souls in this ultimate baseball cathedral. Yankee Stadium has meant so much to so many, and Yankees players and fans will enjoy one final season in the House That Ruth Built before making their way to the new Yankee Stadium in 2009.
Yankee Stadium: Baseball’s Cathedral will celebrate the entire spectrum that makes this ballpark the most talked about sports structure in the entire world. Contains an exclusive 85-Year Yankee Stadium Commemorative Ticket with Yankee Coin.
But this for $25 at Amazon.
Remembering Yankee Stadium Hardcover Book
I received this book as Christmas present last year and it was one of my favorite gifts that I received. Flipping through this book and looking at the amazing pictures brought back a lot of good memories.
Diamonds aren’t forever. After the 2008 season, the seemingly immortal “House That Ruth Built” will shut its gates forever—to be replaced by a brand-new stadium just a homer’s length away. As if anything could ever replace Yankee Stadium in the hearts and memories of New York Yankees’ fans.
Memories are what this book is about. From the moment it opened on April 18, 1923, Yankee Stadium was a phenomenon: It was more than double the size of any ballpark at the time. And what was happening on the field was just as phenomenal. In the third inning of that opening-day game, Babe Ruth hit the home run he deemed the most satisfying of his career. That fall, the stadium hosted the first of the many World Series games that would be played there over the ensuing 85 years.
And that, of course, was just the beginning. Remembering Yankee Stadium brilliantly and beautifully documents the stadium’s entire career through a decade-by-decade account, a priceless collection of historical photographs, and, most movingly, the vivid, first-person reminiscences of the people to whom this “citadel of sport” has meant so much: entertainers and politicians, broadcasters and sportswriters, players and fans. No Yankees fan—no baseball fan—will be able to resist this incredible book.
