I know Pop Warner which is the biggest youth football does give all the coaches training in keeping the head out. Not saying you do not end up with some "old school" coaches teaching other things.
At least our youth program and highschool follow a rugby style wrap and roll tackle that is built around keeping your head out of the tackle.. no more bite the ball
I am no Yankee fan... but there is no way that they can let him leave the Bronx. They really could not let him leave to come and play in Queens, as much as I would love to see him out playing in our outfield and putting up triple crown numbers.
The one place I would love to see him go, would be Boston!
Yes... it is nice to see the bats swinging again. That is really what the next month and half will come down to, the pitching will be solid.. can they score the runs.
So, the question is, what can we get for him in a trade? If he is healthy come Nov 1st and we are not going to pay him with a big contract next season, is there a reason to keep him for the rest of the season?
