Konstanty 38 and Still Going Strong for Yankees
At age 38 Jim Konstanty remains a key reliever for the New York Yankees, a contrast to five years ago when Little Phil Rizzuto and Konstanty were top stars. Konstanty, acquired last August, has become a mainstay in late innings, while Rizzuto’s grip on field duties weakens. The piece notes the shift in baseball toward shorter outings and the enduring value of a reliable bullpen, highlighting Konstanty’s continued impact and possible MVP consideration.

Rocky Moore bout eyed as Yankee Stadium showcase
Frankie Brown, famed referee, predicts Rocky Marciano will knock out Moore within 10 rounds when they meet at Yankee Stadium on September 20. Brown, who refereed bouts for both fighters, argues Marciano’s aggression and power will overwhelm Moore, despite Moore’s past liberties against middleweights. He notes four previous Yankee Stadium clashes and cites Moore’s 20 percent share of the purse as a consolation.
