Mazzilli: The Next Generation
Yes I actually have a Lee Mazzilli Google alert – I was very excited about this first paragraph of a story:
Freshman infielder LJ Mazzilli had a unique childhood that ranged from meeting Derek Jeter to playing video games in the clubhouse at Fenway Park with Sal Fasano. In his first season at UConn, however, Mazzilli is just one of the guys.
But then this sentence ticked me off.
Perhaps what the elder Mazzilli is most known for is his role with the Yankees. Lee was New York’s first base coach in the 2000 championship season that culminated with a 4-1 Subway Series win over the Mets
I’m off to go throw rotten eggs at the author’s car..but if you want to read more about LJ Mazzilli, here ya go.
Since this is from a college paper I bet the author doesn’t realize Lee is best known for a walk in the All-Star Game. Â This is what happens when your baseball team blows off its history until April 2010, kids associate Lee with the Yankees. Â I bet he thinks Gooden is that no-hitter guy.

They believe in the Orange and Blue…
…of course except the girl on the left.
Y’all might want to align your marketing slogan with the actual images. If you want to sell black jerseys just slap Davis 29 on the back.
