Let’s Go Yankees

Moose is a man.  An Orioles fan might debate the fact with me, but Moose is a class act.  Quiet dignity.  Not one to seek out the spotlight.  Blue collar.  I hope Hank has enough sense to bring him back.  No matter what, Moose, you’ll always be able to say that you won your last game at Yankee Stadium.  You’ve come a long way since watching your first game there so many years ago.  Thank you for some terrific memories.  I only wish the club could have rewarded you with a championship.  Maybe next year.  You deserve it.

It will be good to see Bernie again on Sunday.  I’ve been listening to his cd “The Journey Within” lately and think he’s as smooth with a guitar as he was with a stick.  That’s one situation, among hundreds, the Steinbrenners did NOT handle well.  I read this morning that Girardi wants to bring him to Spring Training next year to help the younger hitters.  I pray that works out.  Bernie, you are another classy guy.

So Andy will start the last game in Yankee Stadium history.  Only fitting.  Andy, another of my favorite players, had a rough go last off season.  He’s had it rough the second half of this season, too, and may not be back in pinstripes next year.  Too bad.  He, along with Jetes, Mo and Jorge has been the nucleus of so many championship-caliber teams.  He deserves better than to be thrown a small bone or brushed away to the refuse heap.  I’ll be rooting for you with all my heart on Sunday night, Andy.  You can bank on that.

It will be good to see Mo pitch that last inning on Sunday night.  It would only be fitting that Andy pitches well and hands the game over to him in a save situation.  Imagine the thunder that will eminate from the Stadium before, during and after that game.  Imagine the ghosts who will attend.  It almost makes me shiver even now.  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)  Let’s go Yankees! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)
