It looks as if the New York Yankees, playing their last season in the once-remodelled, "old" Yankee Stadium, will not make the American League playoffs this year. They are 7.5 games behind the Red Sox in the wild card race, in third place behind the Minnesota Twins. The last time Major League Baseball held their playoffs without the Yankees taking part was in 1993. To put it another way, the last time Major League Baseball held their playoffs without the Yankees taking part actor Bill Bixby (of My Favorite Martian, The Incredible Hulk, and The Courtship of Eddie's Father) was still alive.
And, in case you are interested, here's the theme song to The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

I remember it well, Andy. I took you to Grossinger's resort in New York one summer in the early 1980s to play in a tennis tournament. While I played tennis, you watched television - The Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir - and that strange, lonely old man tried to accost you on the elevator. Like I said before, I remember it well.
