		Given the turnover in the Yankee rotation—just Mike Mussina remains from the 2003 rotation—they have other things to worry about than the lack of left-handers.

		His performance was not that much worse than his career averages, but it was lower in just about every facet of his game.

	Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Yankees - Deadspin
		In an eerie foreshadowing of crappy reality shows on Fox, during spring training in 1973 pitchers and close buddies Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson actually swapped families, which at the time consisted of their wives, their children (two apiece) and their pets (one dog each).
		The families had apparently completed the trade during the off-season in 1972 but kept it quiet until spring training.
		The change of scenery didn't really help either pitcher on the field; when Kekich ended his nine-year major league career in 1977, he had a 39-51 record.
