Here’s a fix for those missing Yankees’ baseball. Buy a copy of “The Big 50: New York Yankees (Triumph Books)” by my former Daily News colleague, and veteran baseball scribe (he’s really a sports section’s Swiss Army knife), Peter Botte. Readers will get a look at the stories of the Yanks — on and off the field — through an accomplished veteran reporter’s eyes. Babe, Mickey, Yogi and many other greats are there. My favorites are the chapters on the all-time Yankee announcers and Dave Righetti’s no-hitter, which I attended. Through his words and interviews, Botte brought that thrilling moment back to life. There’s pinstriped gold in this book. … As we said last week in this space: “Don’t be surprised if they [Entercom] start cutting the salaries of your favorite [WFAN] Gasbags.” Well it happened, with FAN’s contract players all getting a haircut. Now, don’t be surprised if these trimmings last quite a while. The biz is THAT bad.
