403. Jack Curry, YES Network

Jack Curry is an award-winning sports journalist. He spent 20 years covering baseball for the New York Times before shifting to television to work for the YES Network, where he has worked since 2010. He is the co-author of three New York Times bestsellers and has recently authored a new book on the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Yankees, a team that won the World Series and a total of 125 games. The book is entitled, “The 1998 Yankees: The Inside Story of the Greatest Baseball Team Ever.” Curry has won six New York Emmy Awards.

In this episode, Curry explains the stories of that team. That season’s headlines were dominated by the home run chase of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, and until the World Series, the country hadn’t focused on the Yankees. Still, that team featured superstars like Derek Jeter, Paul O’Neill, and Bernie Williams, and had bench players like Darryl Strawberry and Tim Raines.

Also covered in this episode, Curry discusses his role with the YES Network and discusses his thoughts on the current Yankees, specifically Aaron Judge, rookie Anthony Volpe, and manager Aaron Boone.
