Anyone else curious if the Yankees will give Juan Soto a tribute video sometime during the Bronx portion of the Subway Series on May 16-18?
I get it’s not exactly a war and peace level question, but I was curious enough to ask and, so far, it seems to be a “no.” More on that in a bit.
First, I just want to state that tribute videos and number retirements are getting out of hand. Both used to go to only the most deserving of the most deserving. Now, number retirements have become like bobblehead dolls — designed to build attendance for a date as much as truly honor history.
As for tribute videos, I entered a query into a search engine asking for the most unjustified of this species and the first answer was Blake Griffin with the Nets. I knew that was a good one because I had forgotten Blake Griffin had been a Net.
