The BRONX ZOO knows him....MLB Players know him....After the 2011 HR DERBY.....BASEBALL WORLD Meet and Greet BOMBERS 2B Robinson CANO

The Most Exciting thing at MLB ALL-STAR Week is the Actual GAME itself and Home Run DERBY. The 2011 Edition was no different and the Final Round pitted Two RIVALS vs one another in BOSOX 1B Adrian GONZALEZ aka GONZO and Bronx BOMBERS 2B Robinson CANO' aka NO NO.

With everything on the line the BOMBERS and CANO' pulled it off with an exciting 12 HR final Round which is a HR DERBY Record. GONZO finished with one less at 11 and the YANKS beat the BOSOX yet again.

The coolest thing and a First in HR DERBY History was the Pitcher for CANO'....His FATHER Jose' CANO' who was a Houston ASTROS Player in the 80's. But to have your FATHER pitching and you win the DERBY all in One...the CANO'S couldn't have asked for a better NIGHT.

The YANKEES and their opponenets know him all too well but he is without FANFARE because of the YANKEES loaded ROSTER of players like #2, #13, #42, #52, and #20. So from a FAN STANDPOINT CANO' definately flies under the RADAR except from BOMBERS Opponents.

YANKS Manager Joe GIRARDI has moved CANO' all the way up to the 5Hole and sandwiched in between A-ROD in the 4-hole and Swisher in the 6-hole. But after it is all said in done I could see CANO' Moving all the way up to the 3-Hole.........he is a natural Run-Producer with almost as sweet a swing as the KID.....GRIFFEY JR.........ALMOST.

This Season CANO' is only hitting .296.....which is down by his standards ad 15 Leaving the PREMISES and 57 Knocked in. Last Season ROBBIE hit .319 with a Career Best 29 Hrs and 109 RBI .381 OB% and .534 Slugging %...so the YANKS and their Opponents know exactly what kind of DAMAGE he is capable of.

And just think he was a throw-in with the A-ROD Trade from the RANGERS to BOMBERS........a Piece to TRADE in the Carlos BELTRAN Deal(that never happened), the RANDY JOHNSON DEAL and he didn't go there because the D-BACKS rejected him.

NOW you look at #22 in PINSTRIPES and he is arguably the CORNERSTONE of the YANKS at only 28 years old and JETER and A-ROD not getting any younger the BRONX ZO will be turned over to the likes of Big TEX (TEXERIA), Granderson, and CANO'...as well as a few other TOP Yankees Veterans and Farmhands.

It is safe to say that #22 will also be looking for his BIG PAY DAY from the PINSTRIPES and Boy has he earned it. The YANKS love their OWN and he will most certaintly be taken care of.
