The number one pick overall, that has been illusive for New Yorkers.

Rooting for the home team As I die-hard Yankee fan, I was bummed when my Bombers lost to the Red Sox early in this year's MLB playoffs, but I was happy to turn my attention to Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves.  But last night, I'll be honest with you, I was actually rooting against the Braves.  Kinda crazy,...

Any baseball expert in the world would qualify 5 scoreless, and hitless, World Series innings as a major contribution to a team's championship. However, the Capital Region doesn't need any experts to tell them how special Ian Anderson is and neither do the Braves.
