Yankees broadcaster Rickie Ricardo makes magic on and off the mic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While you may have heard Rickie Ricardo on the airwaves in English and Spanish on WBLS, WADO, Hot 97, WFAN, WIP (Philly), he’s more than just a silky voice. He also made his mark off the mic as a radio consultant for Spanish-language stations around the country, creating a music formula on a grand scale. Try La Mega 97.9 (WSKQ-FM).

Until recently, Brooklyn’s Heather “The Heat” Hardy was the WBO featherweight champ, with a career record of 24-3 (1 NC), including four knockouts. She went 20 rounds toe-to-toe with the great Amanda Serrano. In 28 bouts, Hardy was never stopped. Always the crowd pleaser, the operative word for Hardy now is “was.” Her days of in-the-ring combat are over for Hardy: Her boxing career has ended and left her with a brain injury that has dampened her day-to-day living. “I have tunnel vision, so I can
