Love that Robinson Cano merited an ESPN the Magazine cover, but I find the photo unappealing.

The cover story on if the Yankees will pony up the cash necessary to keep baseball’s best second baseman is accessible to those with ESPN Insider access.

Frank Sinatra, then 27 years old, scores an autograph from Lou Gehrig prior to Game 4 of the 1939 World Series.

The Yankees won, 7-4, that day at Crosley Field to complete a sweep of the Reds and claim their fourth straight World Series title. Gehrig played in only eight games in 1939, with the final appearance of his career coming on April 30 at Yankee Stadium. He died less than two years after this photo was taken.

Video of the Yankees’ incredible 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play in tonight’s top of the eighth. Love the emotion shown by these early season — dare I say it? — overachievers. What a start by Kevin Youkilis, who’s now hitting .424 and becoming — dare I say this, too? — a quick fan favorite.
