The streamer will make the games available at no extra cost to viewers in the Yankees’ home broadcast footprint.

The 2025 MLB season is suddenly just around the corner and the New York Yankees will be out to avenge their loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series. And on Wednesday, it was confirmed that tristate fans will be able to watch the Bronx Bombers’ journey back to the postseason on Yes Network, the Gotham Sports App, and for the third year in a row, on Prime Video. The Amazon-owned streaming service will host Yankees games starting in April and continuing all the way through September.

Key Details: Prime Video will host 21 Yankees games over the course of the season. The games will be available to viewers in New York, Connecticut, and parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Opponents for Yankees games on Prime Video include multiple teams that made the 2024 playoffs.

The Yes Network joins Fubo’s impressive lineup of over 35 regional sports networks in time for MLB Opening Day and the NBA postseason push.

Baseball fans, the day that you have been looking forward to for months is finally here as Opening Day will take place across the league. Along with it comes announcements for new ways that you can watch your favorite teams. On Thursday, the sports-focused live TV streaming service Fubo announced that it was adding yet another regional sports network (Rsn) to its expansive list of offerings as the Yes Network joins the lineup ahead of the 2024 season.

The Yes Network joins Fubo’s lineup of over 35 regional sports networks, all on the base Pro plan. New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games will be available to stream starting Thursday, March 28. Only fans in the Yankees’ home media market are able to watch the Rsn. 7-Day Free...

Prime Video will be the home of 21 Yankees games this season, 19 of which will occur on Wednesday nights.

It is getting increasingly difficult for sports fans to watch all of their favorite team’s games in one convenient, centralized streaming location. Between regional sports networks (RSNs) and streaming exclusives, it is nearly impossible to keep up with where your team is playing without a scorecard. That is doubly true when you follow one of the most popular franchises in all of sports, because then you have to factor in network and cable national broadcasts as well. Fans of the New York Yankees are used to this, and on Friday, they got the details on which Bronx Bombers’ games would be streaming exclusively on Prime Video.

Key Points: For the third-straight year Yankees games will stream on Prime Video. There will be 21 Nyy on Amazon’s streamer this season for fans...

"He was the most overlooked superstar in the history of baseball." "He's just a gentle, kind soul..." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed an official trailer for It Ain't Over, a documentary about the baseball legend Yogi Berra. After initially premiering at the 2022 Nantucket Film Festival last year, it stopped by the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this year and will open in May in limited theaters. The documentary film gives "Yogi" Berra his due recapping the illustrious life of a "bad-ball hitting" catcher (for the Yankees), who was also a D-Day veteran, loving husband and father and, yes, product endorser and originator (mostly) of his own brand of proverbs that are now ingrained into everyday life. This features interviews with Billy Crystal, Bob Costas, Vin Scully, Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, Mariano Rivera, Joe Girardi, Ron Guidry, Willie Randolph, Don Mattingly, Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, Suzyn Waldman, and Lindsay Berra. It looks good,...

Sony Pictures Classics said it’s planning to release Sean Mullin’s documentary on baseball superstar Yogi Berra, It Ain’t Over, in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on May 12, expanding over following weeks.

The film is produced by Natalie Metzger, Matt Miller, Peter Sobiloff and Mike Sobiloff with Vanishing Angle and Off Media, and executive produced by Lindsay Berra. It world premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival in the Spotlight Documentary section.

This is an intimate portrait of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra (1925-2015), one of baseball’s greats. The brilliant catcher for the most storied franchise in Major League Baseball history, the New York Yankees, he amassed 10 World Series rings, three American League Mvp awards, and a staggering 18 All-Star Game appearances

Berra was a native of St. Louis, Mo who saw combat in World War II and resumed his baseball career during the golden era in New York...

For years, it was one of baseball’s most reliable traditions: Yankee closer Mariano Rivera trotting out from the bullpen to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” It was fitting theme music for a guy who, as the saying goes, put bats to sleep. During Rivera’s final season, in 2013, Metallica even showed up at Yankee Stadium to perform the 1991 hit as the pitcher’s number was retired.

On Tuesday, Rivera became the first player ever unanimously elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame, and Metallica sent along a heartfelt message of congratulations.

The New York Yankees have reached into the TV broadcasting booth for their next manager, naming Espn analyst Aaron Boone as the successor to former leader Joe Girardi, according to multiple reports.

He is the 35th man to become the Yankees…...

Jennifer Lopez is trying to hook her boyfriend up with his next job.

The 48-year-old singer took to Twitter on Thursday to campaign for Alex Rodriguez to be the next manager of the New York Yankees.

"It couldn't be clearer," she tweeted, adding, "#arodforyankeesmanager."

The former Yankees star may be a good fit for the team, who parted ways with longtime manager Joe Girardi this year. Girardi was with the team since 2008 and won a World Series, but according to reports, the Yankees are looking for someone who can better connect with players.

While Rodriguez is the one with the sports background, he told Et in September that Lopez has made a great coach in their life together.

"She's a good coach to have," he gushed of his ladylove, admitting that they've become nearly inseparable. "I think we're just best friends. We just love spending time together. Our kids love each other, so it's a good...

Nearly one decade after he became the manager of the Yankees, Joe Girardi is out, after overseeing just one World Series title during his tenure. Girardi announced his departure Thursday, according to multiple media reports: “With a heavy heart, I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back. I’d like to thank the fans for their great support as a player, coach and manager and the lasting memories of their passion and excitement during the playoff games.” The announcement comes just days after the Yanks lost to the Houston Astros in the playoffs.

On the afternoon of the first day of New York Film Festival press screenings at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Gay Talese welcomed me into his home to discuss the evolution of Josh Koury and Myles Kane's highly anticipated Voyeur, which will have its world premiere next month in the Spotlight on Documentary programme.

In the first installment of my conversation with Gay, he explained the roles played by Susan Morrison and David Remnick of The New Yorker and the reaction when Gay's literary agent Lynn Nesbit showed his unpublished work The Voyeur's Motel to Grove/Atlantic president and publisher Morgan Entrekin. We spoke about Gerald Foos,...

Alex Rodriguez is currently serving a 162-game suspension from Major League Baseball for violating drug policy, but even though he’s 39 years old, he has every intention of making his way back to Yankee Stadium in 2015, if only to collect his more than $20 million per season salary. But though he’s won two Most Valuable Players as a Yankee and helped them win the 2009 World Series, Rodriguez’s infamy will likely prevent him from ever being considered an all-time Yankee.

Michael Pineda, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, has been handed down a 10-game suspension for using pine tar during Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox.

Pineda Suspended For Using Pine Tar

It was brought to the attention of the officials in the second inning after Pineda had helped to earn the Yankees two outs that he had pine tar on his neck, which he was touching to get a better grip on the ball on the cold night in Boston’s Fenway Park. He was subsequently ejected form the game.

In the end, Major League Baseball decided to suspend Pineda for 19 games for “possessing a foreign substance.” Pineda will still get paid and will only miss one start, since his next turn in the rotation happens to fall next Monday on the Yankee’s off day.

When George Brett talks pine tar -- and cheating in baseball -- people listen ... and the Hall of Famer just gave TMZ Sports an earful about Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda's ejection for blatantly using the substance.Pineda was tossed in the 2nd inning of Wednesday night's Yankees-Red Sox game when the umpire said he had pine tar on his neck. The allegation is Pineda was using the substance to get a better grip on the ball.

Jimmy Dugan was full of spit: There is definitely crying in baseball.

At least there was last night in the Bronx, where the greatest relief pitcher in the history of the sport said goodbye to the home crowd after 19 seasons and five World Series championships. Mariano Rivera, who has confounded batters and shattered bats with his unhittable cut-fastball ever since 1995, took the mound in Yankee Stadium for the last time. It was hardly a typical Rivera outing — even though he retired four straight Tampa Bay hitters. For one, the Yankees, who failed to qualify for the playoffs this season, were trailing,...

In a Hollywood explosion seldom seen, Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter for The Maccabees, the Jewish historical film Mel Gibson is making, published a nine-page letter accusing Gibson of being anti-Semitic and just doing the film to fix his reputation.

The Weinstein Company docu Bully has really touched a nerve. In the latest promotion for the Lee Hirsch-directed film, New York Yankees stars Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and manager Joe Girardi took time to do a PSA to urge the audience to sign on to a website for the film and its Bully Project petition.

A group of mothers has taken out an ad in South Korea to protest a gay storyline on Life Is Beautiful. The newspaper ad reads “If my son becomes gay and dies from AIDs [sic] after watching Life Is Beautiful, Sbs must take responsibility!”

General manager says Gaga and other celebs are welcome, just not after a loss.

New York native Lady Gaga loves the Yankees. And on Friday night after the game between the Yankees and the Mets at Yankees Stadium, she waltzed right into their clubhouse to tell them how much she loved them. But apparently, the team wasn't thrilled with her antics, particularly since they'd just lost the game.

Gaga arrived at the game in nothing more than a bra, bikini bottom and a pin-striped Yankees jersey, according to the New York Post, and reportedly talked her way into the clubhouse, where she even met with several of the players. Sources told the paper she was also drinking whiskey and grabbing her chest during her visit.

"That was the wrong time and the wrong place," New York Yankees Gm Brian Cashman told Espn about the incident.

Lady GaGa is still allowed to make a visit to New York Yankees' clubhouse after all. On Sunday, June 20, the team's general manager Brian Cashman has clarified circulating story that the "Bad Romance" hitmaker has been banned from entering the place after reportedly infuriating co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner during a visit to the house that Ruth built on Friday night, June 18.

On Sunday afternoon, June 20, Cashman set the record straight. "She's not banned," he stated, before explaining, "Celebrities aren't banned. If Michael Jordan showed up here he would have access [to the clubhouse], but not after a loss." He further noted that it was only a matter of wrong time and place. "That was the wrong time and the wrong place... It is not her fault," he noted.

Cashman further added that no one was fired over the security breach. Moreover, Yankees' manager Joe Girardi has stated that he doesn't believe celebrities cause...

here are two ways the makers of male-oriented personal care and beauty products market their goods to consumers. First, there's the Axe Effect. It's the highly persuasive method of playing on average everyday man's insecurities about unbelievably attractive women, advertising unrealistic beauty ideals, copious amounts of skin and sex appeal, and the importance of getting a lot of action. Second, there's the Platonic Ideal of the American Male. He's a stand-up, down-to-earth, man with a rags to riches story, a work ethic the size of Paul Bunyan, a devotion to family with which the religious could find no fault, and happens to care a lot about skincare. Dove, a beauty brand that ostensibly fights against superficial stereotypes and campaigns for real beauty, does not employ the Axe Effect. In it's online ad campaign for the new Men+Care product line, Dove hopes to increase its market share among American males...

Btig LLC, an institutional broker dealer specializing in trading and related brokerage services, held its annual Commissions for Charity Day yesterday. The company donated equity, fixed income and derivative trading commission profits earned on Thursday, May 6 to a group of children’s charities.

The firm’s last Commissions for Charity Day raised more than $3 million, and over the past five years Btig has donated more than $10 million to various organizations, including Jacob’s Cure, Catch 25, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

George Lopez . . . deadbeat? The highly paid host of TBS's "Lopez Tonight" has allegedly been welshing for more than a year and a half on $21,000 he owes to Joe Torre's Safe at Home Foundation, which helps battered women and their kids.

If you opted out of buying the 2009 World Series collection and you’re a Yankees fan, you might find this a more palatable and sensible use of your time. It’s not the 20 hour megalith the other is, it only asks for an hour of your time and features a rather brisk run through the Yankees’ 2009 season starting with their departure from their old stadium and the spring training in the new structure they’ll be calling home until New York decides it needs to spend more money on their most reliable sports team. The feature has everything you’d expect from a sappy season retrospective: cheesily written narration, talking heads saying great things about the team and its legacy, and a series of really laughable segues from one piece of archive footage to the next.

Lots of traditional pieces get coverage like first home runs of the season (and...

Last night in the Bronx, the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 7-3, successfully closing out the 2009 World Series and clinching the team's 27th championship, the most of any professional sports team in history. Last night's game belonged to veteran Yankee ace Andy Pettitte (who pitched solidly on short rest) and to World Series Mvp Hideki Matsui, who tied a Series record with six Rbi. The victory is not nearly as poetic as some are making it out to be (after all, the Yanks last won a Series in 2000 — hardly the drought that the Boston Red Sox experienced), but it's an especially redemptive win for team manager Joe Girardi (who has been second-guessed for most of his tenure) and for slugger Alex Rodriguez, whose monster salary has long been in question because of his inability to win a championship. But all that has been washed...

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez took leave from his fellow Bronx Bombers this week for a very good reason: A-Rod became a father to another B-aby. Rodriguez, 32, was with his wife Cynthia, 34, as she gave birth to the couple's second daughter, born Monday night in Miami, his team announced. The baby, whose name has not been revealed, weighed 7 lbs., 2 oz., at birth, according to the Major League Baseball Web site. "We are thrilled with the birth of our second daughter and the blessing of having two beautiful, healthy children in our lives," the happy father said in a statement.
