Where are They Now? Part III
Time for another installment of "Where are they Now?" (it's not easy to come up with posts on an off day).
Roberto Kelly was one of the few bright spots on the Yankees during his time in NY from 1987-1992. He's most famous, of course, for being the key player dealt to the Cincinnati Reds for Paul O'Neill. Kelly came back to the Yankees in 2000 to close out his major league career. He's currently the 1st Base coach for the San Francisco Giants.
Mike Stanley was one of the most popular Yankees during his stay from 1992-1995. Fans were outraged when they let Stanley leave as a free agent, opting to sign little known Joe Girardi instead. Stanley made a brief return to the Yankees in 1997, just missing out on World Series titles in both tenures. Today he is the coach of the Lake Highland High School baseball team in Maitland, Florida.
Carlos May was better known as a member of the Chicago White Sox, but played for the Yankees for parts of 2 seasons (1976-1977). He's also infamous in Yankee circles, because of an army accident he had in the late 1960's, in which he lost part of his thumb. You know how Michael Kay repeats things every time certain players come up? Well back then it was Frank Messer, who mentioned May's thumb every time the Yankees played the White Sox. So you can just imagine what happened when May joined the Yankees. May currently handles community relations for the White Sox.
Roy Smalley Jr. replaced Bucky Dent at shortstop from 1982-1984. The Yankees erroneously traded set up man Ron Davis for him, and threw in Greg Gagne, who became a stellar SS for the Twins. Smalley's father played in the bigs and his uncle is former big league manager Gene Mauch.
Smalley currently works as an analyst on Twins games for FSN and is a stock broker for RBC Dain Rauscher.
Jack Aker was a solid reliever in 11 big league seasons. He played with the Yankees from 1969-1972 and had the best numbers of his career during his time in New York. He was honored by President Clinton in 1997 for his work with Native American children in Arizona and New Mexico. He's currently in the 18th year of running the Jack Aker Baseball, which would puts together camps, clinics, and private instruction.
