Looks Like A Winner...
Letter
from the Editor
Michael
Aubrecht Pinstripe Press
First, I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the
readers and writers from January for making our debut
edition of The Highlander a complete success. I started this
eNewsletter with one goal in mind; to give Yankees fans an
open forum for publishing their thoughts on their favorite
team and you took it further than I ever expected. The day
after announcing the first issues arrival, we started to
receive positive emails from fellow webmasters, professional
and semi-professional sports writers, published authors and
even a true "Highlander" from Scotland. Some wanted to
compliment our efforts, some wanted to join our staff and
some simply wanted to thank us for giving them something new
to read.
Here are
some email excerpts: One word: FANTASTIC. Your newsletter is
amazing, professional, informative, and better than most
sites that have huge staffs working for them. It is a
pleasure to visit the site. Best wishes for your new
Newsletter. It looks great and has a lot of original
insight. I enjoyed the articles and added the site to my
Favorites list. I spent 59 minutes at your site today.
Thanks. It was wonderful. The Highlander looks great.
Congratulations to all involved!

A
Chronological History of Amazing Boston Red Sox Losses,
Remarkable Collapses and Other Record Breaking Feats
The Red Sox
vs.Yankees rivalry is one of the longest running in all of
professional sports. In defense of the Yankee Hater sites
that have popped up all over the web, Soxsuck.com has put
together a brilliant effort. Unlike it's piers that take a
more immature approach with "doctored up" photos, animated
urinating icons and opinionated trash talk, this site uses
extensive factual research and presents it as a timeline of
the Beantown franchise's history. The site was actually
pointed out to me by a lifelong Boston die-hard who spent
hours browsing the site and came away with the conclusion
that there are too many strange occurrences and coincidences
in the Red Sox history to overlook. Check it out
today!
Everyfan.net
has taken up the cause of the average NY sports fan who
cannot access the Yankees on their cable system.

Player Profile
#15 Thurman
Munson
Born: June 7, 1947, Akron, Ohio
Died: August 2, 1979, Canton, Ohio (plane crash)
A baseball
player, like any other person, is not immune to the
tragedies of everyday life. On August 2, 1979, Thurman
Munson’s twin-engine jet fell short of the runway during an
attempted landing at the Akron-Canton airfield and
tragically burst into flames. Munson was killed in the
accident and two others were injured. The six-time All-Star
was only 32 years old and had already established himself as
one of the game’s premier catchers. In three consecutive
World Series appearances in 1976, 1977, and 1978, Munson hit
.529, .320 and .320 respectively. He started his career
winning the American League Rookie of the Year award in
1970, batting .302, one of five seasons he hit over the .300
mark. In 1976, Munson led the Yankees into the World Series
and earned Most Valuable Player honors in the AL.
