When Paul Goldschmidt decided to return for a second year with the Yankees, the star first baseman — a likely Hall of Famer — recognized that he was likely signing on for a veteran platoon role. And while that can be difficult for some players of Goldschmidt’s stature, baseball has a way of messing with plans. Goldschmidt has been an essential piece of the team’s run this year, while also serving as a mentor to a budding stud in Ben Rice, and as the veteran explains to Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, he’s just following the lead of the players who mentored him as he emerged. Goldschmidt and Schwartz discuss the baseball life cycle, the joy that comes with winning, and what it means to have your family around during a big-league journey.

And in our second segment, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits joins to discuss some particularly interesting news about one player currently on the Yankees injured list and she and Jon look ahead to a September sprint to the postseason. Finally, senior museum curator Brian Richards opens a fascinating chapter of History Books about pitcher Spec Shea.

Ahead of Old-Timers’ Day this coming Saturday, we figured it was a good time to look back at the beginning of the most recent Yankees’ dynasty, which became a reality 30 years ago this October, when Charlie Hayes camped under a foul ball near the third base dugout and caught the ball that clinched a World Series title. Hayes, who has a lifetime of baseball memories that his son, Ke’Bryan keeps adding to, chats with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits about his memories from that fateful game, the role he played in 1996 and the joy he gets from reuniting with his buddies.

For our second segment, Yankees Magazine’s Jon Schwartz chats with Meredith about the trade deadline and looks ahead to the final third of the season. Finally, for an outstanding chapter of History Books, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards unveils the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America’s newest exhibit, which looks back at the team’s retired numbers.

We’ve got something different this week, an incredible conversation with Carlos and Ashley Rodón, who discuss their partnership, and how it impacts their lives on and off the mound.
