J.A. Happ’s ‘conviction’ could be just what Yankees need
J.A. Happ Paul J. BereswillThere hasn’t been this much talk around the Yankees about being convicted since Billy Martin piped up at O’Hare Airport 41 years ago this month.
But there, in an entirely different context, was J.A. Happ throwing around that “C” word at Yankee Stadium on Saturday following his and his team’s 2-1 defeat to the Blue Jays. No one is going to be forced to resign this time as a result.
“I’m trying to keep my conviction on every pitch,” Happ said. “Some games I had conviction on some pitches, but not on every one. I have to stay convicted.
“I would say this was one of my best games this year regarding execution and conviction.”
