We have the American League Rookie of the Year in the house, chatting with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about some of the highlights from his remarkable season.

But then Jon is joined by Yankees senior manager of communications and media relations Michael Margolis to go in-depth on HOPE Week, the Yankees’ annual initiative that sees the entire team spend time in the community, celebrating those who do amazing things to better the world. This year, for the 15th edition of HOPE Week, the organization chose causes with one overarching theme — using social media to positive ends. If the annual event, or just this conversation, inspires you to get involved in your own community, that’s the biggest win the Yankees can get this year. This episode is brought to you by your Tri-State Cadillac dealer and the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ.

“The only way to be your best self is to be your authentic self.” Marcus Stroman, who is featured on the cover of the June 2024 edition of Yankees Magazine, is all about authenticity, and as he discusses with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, it’s a huge part of his success to date.

Finally, we open the History Books with another chapter from Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards, in which we dive into Lou Gehrig’s remarkable streak.

No matter what’s going on, Yankees closer Clay Holmes has the type of demeanor that makes every day look like a good one. Cool and friendly, the Alabama native has a cheerful disposition on the field and around the clubhouse, which made him a perfect guest for the New York Yankees Official Podcast. But when he sat down with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on May 21, the afternoon after his first blown save of 2024 — indeed, the first earned runs he had allowed all year, coming in the season’s 49th game — the pitcher showed the side that has helped him thrive in the most high-pressured role in baseball. In a frank conversation, Holmes discussed the way that he flushes away adversity, the belief that is a prerequisite for pitching in the ninth inning, and the evolution of his arsenal. Then, for our second segment, Yankees Magazine editor in chief Alfred Santasiere III joins Schwartz to talk about the May cover story that he wrote on Anthony Rizzo, focusing on the first baseman’s outreach to a community he knows all too well.
