Yankees on Film and TV

After seeing that wickedly awesome Derek Jeter plays a bum in a movie photo, I thought of the many times the Yankees have been shown on various movies and tv shows.

So in this post, feel free to discuss your favorite TV and movies moments that are about the Yankees or those that star former or current players.

As for me, may favorites are (in no specific order):

1) Roger Clemens pitching to Ty Cobb in "Cobb".

2) George Costanza teaching Jeter and Bernie how to swing. (Jeter: "Hey, we won the World Series"... George(unimpressed):"in six games")

3) Kramer asking Paul O'Neill to hit two homers.

4) Jeter and other Yankees playing drag on SNL.

And my favorite...

5) '97 Joe Girardi putting the moves on Biff at the movies while watching Titanic.

I'm sure I forgot a lot, there are just the ones that are popping up in my head right now. If you can remember anything else or if you got good ones you can recommend. Feel free to post. I could certainly use the movie or TV suggestions as I'm propped up on my couch with a sore back.

Pacquiao fight

Did you guys catch the fight? Was Jeter on the front rows? I know he was there and he looked like the guy in the front rows.

will ferrell was on the front rows too? didnt see him. But I was so distracted by Jeter if he was on the front rows. Anyway, awesome fight regardless. Cotto never stood a chance after the 4th round.

My fave ...

Jeter’s appearance on SNL and the skit “Derek Jeter’s Taco Hole”. Classic tv for a Yankees fan. Runner up? O’Neil promising the little kid homers. Honorable mention any and all episodes featuring King George.
