and he hired the man some thought was the best manager in baseball, billy martin.attendance was up more than 50%, and the yankees were back in the world series. but they lost that series four straight to cincinnati's big red machine. there it goes. the final score, 7-2. we were the second best team in baseball. that's nothing to be ashamed of. i shouldn't be critical. the yankees still lacked what ruth, di maggio, and mantle gave them-- a slugging outfielder who could put the ball into the seats and fans into the stands. in 1976, that meant reggie jackson. jackson was clearly the biggest prize in that first free agent market. with 282 home runs in 10 years, he had led oakland to three straight world series titles. reggie jackson was on the market, and the yankees were shopping. when the dust settled, reggie jackson was a yankee. then came the inevitable question. how much did you get? come on! i want to know. i believe it is offensive to talk about things of that nature and things of that matter. my financial matters are my business. if reggie wouldn't tell, the pa

giants challenge, it's overturned, robin ventura got kicked out doing his best billy martin impersonation open from there! angel pagan two-run base hit gave the giants the lead. they end up with the season high 7-run inning beating the white sox 7-1. jake peavey wins for the first time since april 25. >> we needed to win today. you know, all my personal stuff, we know it's been a tough year with the way things have gone catching those breaks hadn't caught not one feels like on my day. >> definitely he was blocking the play. and the rule is if he is blocking the plate before he got the ball, it's safe. >> i tell you what, this is what i'm talking about right here. this -- this rule is bs! that is what it is pure, simple, bs! >> the spirit of the rule of what they are trying to do and what it's actually doing it's a joke. so it goes either way. it's a tossup every time play at the home plate. playing baseball we have made plays and the guy was out. they don't take into consideration the guy was out by a long shot. i obviously don't agree with it. >> you're right, ken. technically the rule i
