You’re Sally of course. Did you bump your head? Better go on the 7 day DL if you did. Can’t have you staggering about the place and all.

I believe he would consider this to be high-schoolish, pretty unprofessional, and crossing the line.

No Princess Leia in slave costume? And I know he’s not a rookie, but Joba should have still dressed as Jabba, or is that too obvious? Still, I’ll give them credit for creativity. (I’m complimenting the Yankees? Who am I?)

Well, this is September, time of “who he?” At least they gave the Darth Vader costume to the rookie with one career game played and zero career AB.

Maybe he just really likes Yoda. Lord knows that if the Mets did this particular dress-up, RA Dickey would undoubtedly break out his own Vader costume.
