161st Street

It has been a while since I last posted but, I'm back and ready to go. For all major fans of MLB (Major League Baseball) the Trade Deadline passed on Monday and teams were wheeling and dealing and many trades big and small went down. The biggest trade that went down was ace pitcher Sonny Gray of the Oakland Athletics going to the New York Yankees. After a huge game of chicken between Yankees GM Brian Cashman and Athletics GM Billy Beane the deal was finally agreed upon and the Yankees were able to avoid trading Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres. In the end this deal cost the Yankees: Jorge Mateo, James Kaprielian and Dustin Fowler. In my opinion the Yankees made out like bandits in this trade and I will tell you why. Mateo was never really going to see the majors because there was a logjam in the infield with Didi Gregorius and Starlin Castro and the outfield is log-jammed also. James Kaprielian is not going to be pitching for a while because he needs to undergo Tommy John Surgery so he is going to miss a significant amount of time. Finally, Dustin Fowler who came up to play for the Yankees earlier in the year, tour his knee up in Chicago trying to run down a fly ball and he is going to need surgery. The only risk the Yankees have is that Sonny Gray has had some arm troubles over the years but, he is starting to look healthy again and he is pitching well. They know have another ace along with Severino and Tanaka to make a deeper starting rotation. So with all the speculation and rumors in the past few weeks about Sonny Gray going to the Yankees, writers and reporters have been coming up with song lyrics to describe that they are waiting for him to arrive. One of my good friends Tom Albano (@thomasjalbano) part of my "Undetermined Podcast Network" and does "The Unspoken Podcast" (@theudup), decided to write a song parody for Sonny Gray arriving in New York. He sent me the lyrics to this parody and he explained to me that it is a Sesame Street parody and I couldn't believe what I was reading. So I basically said to him let me play with the lyrics and I will record something. The name of the song is "161st Street" which is a take on "Sesame Street". I'm going to put the link below so everybody can laugh and enjoy the song that Tom and I worked together on. Enjoy the parody and please leave comments and share the link so other people can laugh and be entertained. If everybody likes this song parody we will do more...we have more creative ideas up our sleeves!!!!
