Bam-Tino
I was listening to the Yankees game as I drove through Connecticut today, and I had to call my dad after Tino Martinez hit two more home runs in the game. Dad says Tino is a gentleman, and he's really happy to see him doing this well.
With 10 home runs halfway through May, it's time to start wondering if Tino can set the May record. It's currently held by Barry Bonds, who hit 17 in May 2001. The AL Record is 16 held by Yankees great Mickey Mantle, who hit 16 in 1956. Mark McGwire also hit 16 in May 1998.

Just a quick note and memory. About Tino being a gentleman...he really is. I remember when I was around 9 or 10 I went to see a yankees game. We had seats right next to the yankee dugout. Everytime a yankee would be in the on deck circle, I would run down to the fence and ask for a picture. All the Yankees didn't pay attention to me but Tino. He was the only one the entire game to actually turn around and pose.
