The shortened form Yank is used as a derogatory, pejorative, playful, or colloquial term for Americans in Britain, [50] Australia, [51] Canada, [52] South Africa, [53] Ireland, [54] and New Zealand. [55] The full Yankee may be considered mildly derogatory, depending on the country. [56] The Spanish variation yanqui is used in Latin American Spanish, [57] often derogatorily. [58] Venezuelan Spanish has the word pitiyanqui derived around 1940 from petty yankee or petit yanqui, [59] a derogatory term for those who profess an exaggerated and often ridiculous admiration for anything from the United States. While the Yankees haven’t made any major changes to their logo in the last six decades, they made lots of changes to their logo almost every single year for the first eight years.

Village life fostered local democracy, best exemplified by the open town meeting form of government that still exists today in New England. Village life also stimulated mutual oversight of moral behavior and emphasized civic virtue. The Yankees built international trade routes stretching to China by 1800 from the New England seaports of Boston, Salem, Providence, Newport, and New London, among others. Much of the profit from trading was reinvested in the textile and machine tools industries. [26] How about the well known issues between Joe Garagiola and Harry Caray in St. Louis when they called Cardinals games in the late 1950s? White explained that “Joe was so popular and didn’t have to work his way up to the booth. Caray felt he didn’t pay his dues.”Scully helped me a lot too. I’d sent him audio and video tapes and he shared some important tips with me. Our connection was Peter O’Malley who hooked up the two of us. Pete and Vinny are close. Mathews, Mitford M.

Chicago held the lead until Calhoun launched a two-run homer in the fourth. The only thing missing from his resumé that may or may not make it a Hall of Fame career? A World Series ring! Why do the New York Yankees play in navy blue and white? The New York Times described his work as an “easy colloquial style, studded with nuggets of pithy descriptions.” When Brooks Robinson handled a difficult ground ball seamlessly, White was on it succinctly, “Brooksie has soft hands.” Many etymologies have been suggested for the word Yankee, but modern linguists generally reject theories which suggest that it originated in any Indian languages. [13] This includes a theory put forth by a British officer in 1789, who said that it was derived from the Cherokee word eankke meaning "coward"—despite the fact that no such word existed in the Cherokee language. [13] Another theory surmised that the word was borrowed from the Wyandot [18] pronunciation of the French l'anglais, meaning "the Englishman" or "the English language", which was sounded as Y'an-gee.
