Today on Pinstripe Alley - 7/22/23

Hey, the Yankees won a baseball game last night! Sure, it was by only one run at home against the second-worst team in the sport and they needed a replay review on the final play to confirm it. But hey, considering how much this team has been losing to inferior opponents in July, I’ll take it. Beggars can’t be choosers. Do it some more, please.
