Little E and I went to the Yankees game today, his first of the year! We were
blessed with great seats for a incredible game. Here's the summary of the ninth:
" New York's improbable rally started after Cleveland closer Joe Borowski had
retired the first two batters after coming on to protect a 6-2 lead.
Substitute first baseman Josh Phelps homered, Jorge Posada singled, Johnny Damon
walked and Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu followed with singles to make it 6-5 and
bring A-Rod to the plate.
Rodriguez, who had hit safely in all 13 Yankee games with a major league-leading
nine homers and 23 runs batted in entering the game, had gone hitless to that
point and struck out twice.
After a wild pitch moved the runners up to second and third base, A-Rod
connected on a 1-0 fastball and sent it over the centerfield wall for his second
walk-off homer of the season."
Little E learned a valuable lesson... never give up, never quit. down 4 runs, 1 out
left, and the Yanks rallied! There were only about 15,000 fans, but man were we
loud!
Here's a picture from our seats. :jammin:
