Every Friday I’ve been releasing ‘A Brief History’ podcast about the Yankees. It started as a way to stay sane during quarantine, but evolved into something that I look forward to researching each week.
The most recent episode was about the history of Yankees captains. When I picked this topic, I expected to talk about the legend of Lou Gehrig, some cool Thurman Munson stories, and the weird timing of Derek Jeter’s captaincy (which I did end up talking about). But I found some interesting tidbits I was unaware of and inevitably led to the question: Will there be another Yankees captain, and if so, who?
