Amalie Benjamin to appear on Yankee radio in 5th inning 8/22

Amalie's notes: Mike Lowell has produced well recently while under the radar; Wakefield will be first knuckleballer Victor Martinez has ever caught. She said he had looked forward to catching Wakefield at the All Star game which didn't happen. Per Sons of Sam Horn wiki, she was born in Newton, Mass., is a 2004 graduate of Northwestern, was a sports desk reporter at the NY Times 2004-2005, took over the Red Sox beat at the Globe in 2006. Listening to her presentation including how she handled the give and take of a booth situation, my guess is she probably got into Northwestern via early decision.

• John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman will be joined in the booth by Boston Globe's Red Sox writer Amalie Benjamin in the top of the 5th inning today. Yankee radio occasionally invites a reporter from the opposing team to share insights.
