I decided to take a look back at the Yankees World Series championship teams of the past 50 years and see who were the prominent players (i.e., starters or key reserves) who the Yanks didn’t bring back the following year. I couldn’t remember a more important position player than Hideki Matsui – and, as of this writing, Johnny Damon as well – who wasn’t with the team the following year. That’s because there isn’t one. And unless Damon does an about face, there will be two in 2010. You could say three if you include Melky Cabrera , but as he was the centerpiece in a trade for Javier Vazquez , it’s not like the Yankees gave up on Cabrera (much in the same way they traded David Wells for Roger Clemens after the 1998 title and Moose Skowron for Stan Williams after 1962). Now, that hasn’t always translated to returns to the World Series, although only once in the last half-century (1979) has a Yankees team coming off a World Series win failed to advance to the postseason.

Last night Patty Griffin and friends performed at the historic Paramount theatre to benefit Grounded in Music , a local Austin nonprofit. The concert kicked off with performances by two groups of kids currently receiving musical instruction by the nonprofit. As a board member of Grounded in Music, Patty offered to organize a benefit concert and asked fellow musicians Jack Ingram and Scott Miller to join her on stage. The performance was fantastic! With nothing but a guitar and mic, each singer/songwriter captivated the crowd with arresting vocals, intimate lyrics and hilarious stories.

From 538 : (Illustration: Andrew Gelman, fivethirtyeight.com , ” Healthcare Spending and Life Expectancy ” ) Andrew Gelman at fivethirtyeight.com says: A somewhat misleading (in my opinion) presentation of these numbers has been floating around on the web recently, and so I wanted to post this cleaner graph. (The area of the circle for each country is proportional to the number of doctor visits per person; I don’t know that this information is so crucial but I included it, as it was on the original graph that I’ve modified.) I don’t agree that the original image is “misleading”, but I do agree that this one is cleaner and shows the relationships nicely
