Ex-players reminisce about doomed Giants Stadium
Long before he became one of the best all-purpose players in the history of the New York Jets, Bruce Harper would drive from his nearby home past the spot where Giants Stadium was rising out of a New Jersey swamp and wonder if he had what it took to play at football's highest level.
Stephen Baker's introduction to the stadium nearly ended his career, to hear him describe it.

JOE D. DIARY IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
By DAN KADISON | July 17, 2007 |
|
|
Joe DiMaggio kept a diary. Think of that for a moment.
Baseball legend Joe DiMaggio hobnobbed with superstars and even bedded Marilyn Monroe - but he spent some of the last years of his life chronicling every mundane moment in a stunning diary unveiled yesterday.
In what's being billed as the grand slam of artifacts about the former Yankee great, DiMaggio laboriously jotted down details about his daily life in more than 2,000 pages of handwritten notes between 1982 and 1993.
The diary, bound in 29 volumes, went on the auction block yesterday for a minimum bid of $1.5 million. The diary shows that while he married Monroe and set baseball's record 56-game hitting streak, the legendary slugger wasn't beyond recording what he ate one day in February 1992 - and even the $7 tip he left the waitress.

SIGNS OF DIMAGGIO'S GREATNESS
By BILL GALLO | July 17, 2007 |
|
|
I have not seen copies of Joe DiMaggio's diary, which is about to be auctioned off by Brandon Steiner. But I'm wondering if a certain incident is included in Joe's daily jottings, which he wrote in longhand.
On Nov. 5, 1992, at the second annual Rawlings Gold Glove Awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel, I witnessed DiMag pay particular attention to a ball he was signing because it was owned by someone special.
Before the dinner, we were all given Rawlings baseballs with gold stitching, to mark a special occasion.
At the dinner, I was seated in good company. DiMaggio was at the head of the table, as always. Included in our group were Dr. Rock Positano, who was then affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery. Dr. Rock was a good friend of Joe D's and has famed people like Henry Kissinger as his patients. Also there was Dick Burke, the owner of an Irish pub in Atlantic City and a close pal of Joe's.

The Detailed Life of DiMaggio, Minus Juicy Details
By Richard Sandomir | July 16, 2007 |
|
Joe DiMaggio kept a diary. Think of that for a moment.
The private DiMaggio — who spurned millions of dollars to write a tell-all autobiography but not the riches derived from signing bats or balls — dedicated parts of many days from 1982 to 1993 to recording his activities in a flowing script. You can almost imagine him at day’s end, maybe with his tie still knotted but his blazer hanging in the closet, summarizing his day.
It is not a juicy personal journal. Meals with pals, not his romances, were cited as he moved from his late 60s to his late 70s. A sampling of the entries showed pages filled with mundane details and occasionally interesting detours. They were set down on hotel and airline stationery, plain white or yellow legal paper, but never on personal letterhead. He ended entries as if submitting them for reimbursement: by itemizing his expenses.
“He’d bring them into my office, hand them to the office manager every month and say, ‘Tell Morris there’s good stuff in here for his book,’ ” said Morris Engelberg, DiMaggio’s lawyer. He added: “These writings really show who he is. He’s just a plain old Joe.”

THE RUMBLE
AN OFF-THE-BALL LOOK AT YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS CELEBRITIES
By GINGER ADAMS OTIS, NY Post
Get your Gehrig bat here!
June 17, 2007 – A game model bat signed by legendary Yankee "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig has been consigned to The Marketplace on the Steiner Sports Web site (www.steinersports.com). The bat was signed for and owned by a former Gehrig teammate, and was kept in that family's collection for over 70 years, until it was sold to a private collector a few years ago. The family wanted to remain anonymous, and would not provide any letter of authenticity, so instead sent it for PSA DNA authentication. This bat has remained under lock and key for several years and now the collector has decided to sell in celebration of Gehrig's 80-year anniversary of winning his first American League MVP award.

The Anatomy of a Signing
By Jason Klein, July 6, 2006
It's more than just ink on a baseball or glossy photo. Every piece of authentic Steiner Sports memorabilia tells a story. The signed jersey on the wall, basketball on the mantle, and helmet sitting on top of the television were all signed by different players, at different times, under different conditions. Some were autographed under ideal circumstances within the comfort of the famous Steiner Sports conference room in Westchester, New York; others on the back of a car in a parking lot, in a hotel room during a road trip, or in a confetti-strewn street amid a championship celebration. How much of the story do collectors really know when it comes to the pieces they collect?

Collecting is passion. It is happiness. It is an escape. It occurs in many different ways every single day. Collecting is natural. For children, it could be action figures, dolls, or comic books. Adults might enjoy coins or stamps. IRS Agents collect taxes. Gamblers collect winnings. Even countertops collect dust.

March 7, 2004 – Carl Banks made his name as one of the stalwarts of the Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the last 1980s, but these days his big hits are coming in the garment industry. Banks, who is now GIII Apparel Group's vice president of licensing and president of GIII Sports, was ahead of the curve on turning licensed sports apparel into a fashion statement. Banks certainly developed some skills off the field and quickly developed a $3 million sports line by 1988 - about seven years before he officially.

Ever wonder why it's so tough to get an autograph from your favorite player? Welcome to our private signing party. It's at sessions like this one, at an office building in New Rochelle, N.Y., that Derek Jeter puts his name on the line over and over again. He's one of many jocks who sign autographs for Steiner Sports, a marketing company owned by Brandon Steiner that rakes in some $ 30 million yearly athlete appearances like this one. Jeter has an exclusive three year, multimillion dollar deal with Steiner (this year $750,000 went to his Turn2 Foundation). Steiner's client list includes Mia Hamm (top seller), Mark Messier and Phil Rizzuto (who sent the company's fortunes skyrocketing when he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1994).
