Did I really hear that correctly?


What are his career accomplishments for a plaque there? To me that is where only the HOF'ers from NYY are honored.

That's weak sauce. And didn't he only play there like 5 or 6 years also?

I just learned that his name is Constantino. Pretty badass.

No but the rumor is that Bernie will be honored next year in some fashion.

Bernie deserve one though? Does it not lessen Monument Park?

I just think that Bernie deserves something but not out there.

He was a more accomplished Yankee than Reggie Jackson, who is in it.

Tino hit in the middle of the lineup on a team that won 4 rings in 6 years. Pretty dang good.

Bernie probably deserves one more than Tino.

To be fair, he had way more hits than Whitey Ford did.

Yes and Paul O'Neil will get one as well... Tino played 7 years for the Yankees and while he was a big part of several championship teams he doesn't deserve a plaque....


Save those for Jeter, Mo, Posada, and Andy (Bernie has one)

I don't believe Steinbrenner would approve of "Mr May" being so honored
