Wallace Matthews leaving Newsday for ESPN New York

April Fools Free Post

Everyone’s least favorite curmudgeon of a columnist will be leaving his post at Newsday to join ESPN New York and cover the New York Yankees.

That’s right, Wallace Matthews will be Adam Rubin’s crosstown reporter buddy, covering the team in the Bronx.

All of his columns are off of Newsday’s site.

Matthews can be found on his new ESPN Twitter: @WallaceMatthews

Via ESPN…

Wally Matthews (Yankees) – Matthews has covered New York sports since 1983 as a reporter, columnist, radio host and TV commentator.  He joins ESPNNewYork.com to cover the Yankees, which he's done since the days of Stump Merrill, having worked for Newsday, the New York Post, the New York Sun and ESPN Radio 1050 AM.

Thank you, ESPN New York.  Thank you.
