The House that Dewey Built has an hilarious challenge for Red Sox Nation:

We have a mission for you.  As you’ve heard, the daughter of Yankee owner George Steinbrenner is divorcing the former heir-apparent to the baseball empire, on the heels of his arrest for DUI. 

We need one of you to infiltrate this family. 

Your mission is to woo the daughter, and curry favor with the old man.  Kiss his sagging, speckled, hail-damaged, warty behind as often as possible.  Whisper words of encouragement into his ear, such as: “I always thought Dave Winfield was up to no good”, or “you know, that whole Watergate thing was totally overblown”.

 Click through to see suggestions on what you should do once you win over the old man and gain control of the Yankees.

 Now, one more thing, be careful out there!

It’s baseball time again and former MLB commissioner Fay Vincent has posted his five favorite baseball books on OpinionJournal.com:

1. “Men at Work” by George F. Will
2. “Eight Men Out” by Eliot Asinof
3. “Highpockets” by John R. Tunis
4. “The Glory of Their Times” by Lawrence S. Ritter
5. “Veeck as in Wreck” by Bill Veeck

Written in 1990, Men at Work is the newest volume on the list.

My favorite baseball books are “Summer of ‘49″ by David Halberstam and “Ball Four” by Jim Bouton.

What are your’s?
