Around SBN: Yankees Deny Rumors That Team Is For Sale

Yes, it's another set of Delmon Young age comparisons

  1. Denard Span is two years older than Delmon Young.
  2. J.J. Hardy is three years older than Delmon Young.
  3. Jason Kubel is four years older than Delmon Young.
  4. Delmon Young is less than a year older than Trevor Plouffe.

This whole thing confuses me

1) because it links to itself. So TECHNICALLY it is a fanshot, but not really..and
2) Because #5 is so mysteriously left blank. Is this some kind of “Lost” episode clue?

I always loved that one.

This one, while short.

Is good enough to be a fanpost as opposed to a ‘shot’

I’d like to see this one elevated to front page.

Hard to predict what this means...

Take two of Delmon’s top age comps…

Through Age 23, he was similar too but better than Roberto Clemente.

But, he was also similar to, but not quite as good as Whitey Lockman.

So, someone in between those two. :-)
