Joe Pepitone was first mentioned in the 1987 Golden Girls episode titled Whose Face is this, Anyway . In this episode, Blanche tells Dorothy that she cannot possibly begin to comprehend the trauma a gorgeous woman goes through when she realizes her beauty is about to fade. Dorothy yells out, "And who do you see when you look at me Blanche, Joe Pepitone?!". In the 1994 Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "Zombie Nightmare", Mike Nelson refers to Joe Pepitone. Pepitone is mentioned in the first season of The Sopranos episode entitled "Down Neck". Tony is having a flashback to his childhood during a therapy session with Dr. Melfi when he recalls walking out of his house when he was around 8 or 9 years old and his Uncle Junior shouts from his car "Anthony, you watch the game last night?", Tony replies "No, my mom made me go to bed", and then Uncle Junior says "Joey Pepitone, three RBIs!". Pepitone is mentioned in the show Rescue Me in the episode titled "Jeter". In it, Tommy Gavin is upset at Lou for betraying his trust. He states that Lou is not Derek Jeter, after previously comparing him to the baseball star, and then he goes on to say that he’s not even Joe "Goddamn" Pepitone. Joe Pepitone was mentioned in the special episode of the West Wing made after 9/11, where the character Josh Lyman describes a baseball cap that his dad got Joe Pepitone to sign and he wore it to school every day during the 7th Grade. Literature. In 2010, the novella Soul of a Yankee: The Iron Horse, The Babe and the Battle for Joe Pepitone, written by Pepitone’s nephews William A. & Joseph V. Pepitone, was released. In it, the ghost of Lou Gehrig takes Joe through his life to show him the error of his ways, while the ghost of Babe Ruth tries to tempt Joe back into the wild life. Pepitone features prominently in two Gary D. Schmidt novels: both The Wednesday Wars and Okay for Now . Personal life. Three times divorced, Pepitone currently resides in Massapequa, New York. Life after baseball. Memoirs. Jim Bouton talks extensively about Pepitone in his book Ball Four . Pepitone is described as being extremely vain. Bouton said that Pepitone went nowhere without a bag containing hair products for his rapidly balding head. Pepitone even had two toupees, one for general wear and one for under his baseball cap, which he called his "game piece." Bouton told a humorous story about how the game piece came loose one day when Pepitone took off his cap for the national anthem. In January 1975, Pepitone published his own tell-all baseball memoir, titled Joe, You Coulda Made Us Proud. The book received substantial attention for its many revelations, particularly about his abusive father and his self-lacerating candor about his self-destructive ways. Later that year, he posed nude for Foxy Lady magazine, featuring full frontal nudity. Other work. In the late 70’s, Pepitone played for the New Jersey Statesmen in the American Professional Slow Pitch League (APSPL), one of three professional softball leagues active during this period. Pepitone would also serve the front office of the North American Softball League (NASL) for their only season in 1980. In June 1982, Pepitone was hired as a batting coach with the Yankees, but was replaced by Lou Piniella later in the season. In the late 1990s, Pepitone was given a job in the Yankees’ front office. He currently spends his time signing autographs and baseball memorabilia at autograph shows, and working in a public relations capacity for the Yankees.

A strange battle, possibly a pointless battle, but a battle nonetheless. Lou Gehrig versus Babe Ruth, the Iron Horse and the Bambino. Lou’s a good man. Strong, virtuous. Always doing what’s right. Babe — he doesn’t care about repercussions and lives every day like it’s his last. Up to you which way you go. But keep in mind, a man traveling the wrong way down a one-way street — he’s bound to end up like a butterfly in an eighteen wheeler’s path. Flat and colorful.” And the summary: Joe Pepitone had it all. God given ability, leading man charisma, and an ego the size of Brooklyn. Yet throughout the course of his lifetime he threw away a potential Hall of Fame career, two marriages, and countless opportunities. Then one night, rock bottom hit him like a one hundred mile an hour fastball. the wrong place, the wrong car, and perhaps the last wrong turn of his life.

They will embark on a wild ride through the peaks and valleys of Joe's life, in a last ditch attempt to right the wrongs. Along the way they will encounter the most serious threat to Joe's eternal existence. the greatest icon in the history of the game. A rivalry dating back sixty years has come full circle, and now each man has something to lose. in the battle for Joe Pepitone's soul.

    THE POPE AND ME AT YANKEE STADIUM My Life as the Beer Man & Stand-Up Comic THE POPE AND ME AT YANKEE STADIUM My Life As The Beer Man & Stand-Up Comic By Steve Lazarus as told to Sandy Miles By Steve Lazarus as told to Sanford Miles “It’ll leave you laughing in the aisles!” -- Phil Mushnick, New York Post 1 Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives. I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. - STEVEN WRIGHT 2 PREFACE OKAY FANS, LISTEN UP! Let me set the record straight right off the bat (no puns intended) and tell you the truth: I AM A LIAR. All comedians are. They say they’re single, when they’re really married. They say they’re Ivy League grads, when they barely made it out of grade school. They say they’ve bought a truckload of products from the Home Shopping Network but have never heard of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman. They enlighten you with the trials and tribulations of their first sexual encounter, though they happened to be alone at the time. This, however, is no fib: sorry Mr. Derek Jeter and Co., but I, alone, comprise the best double-play combination around: Yankee Stadium Beer Man by day, Stand-up Comedian by night. Yup, The Fickle Finger of Fate tapped me on the shoulder long before it did Rowan and Martin. Sock it to me! * * * Back in 1964, two of the hottest things in The City That Never Sleeps were the New York Yankees and The Soupy Sales Show.

Flannery: Affairs of the Heart Articles AFFAIRS OF THE HEART* MICHAEL T. FLANNERY** Baseball will be linked forever with family. Baseball is reminis- cent of fathers and sons holding hands as they enter their first ballpark together, bonding as they crack open peanuts, reach for foul balls, and cheer for their hometown heroes. While the con- cept of "Yankee" baseball particularly epitomizes these ideals, it also conjures images of sex, scandal, Hollywood stars, and tragic downfalls. In the minds of many, Yankee heroes are gods. Ultimately, however, they are just mortal men. And mortal men do not escape the randomness of life's adversities. All of our Yankee heroes have confronted the same personal issues that almost all families face, including death, divorce, custody debates, estate squabbles, domes- tic controversies, and drug addictions. For Yankee players in partic- ular, it seems the list is all too familiar. In dealing with family issues, many of our Yankee heroes have responded poorly.

  • List of New York's Baseball Sites
    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.
