Two of the finest sports institutions in New York that boast a great deal of history and tradition are the Yankees and the United States Military Academy at West Point, known in the world of college athletics simply as Army.
Last May, Army hired Mike Buddie as its new athletic director. If that name sounds slightly familiar to Yankees fans, it’s because Buddie was a pitcher in the Yankees organization for eight years in the 1990s and made his major league debut in 1998. He went on to pitch in 24 games that season for the most dominant team of the late-'90s Yankees dynasty that won 114 regular season games and the first of three consecutive World Series titles.
In this episode of “30 With Murti,” Buddie reminisces about his days as a Yankees pitcher coming up the ranks with Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. He also discusses his new role and the challenges of being the athletic director at West Point.
