Before their 6-5 win against the Rays this afternoon, Yankees honored 2009 MVP Hideki Matsui. He signed a one day deal with their minor league team and retired as a true Yankee.
Fans were lined up by the gates hours before the game, making sure they got today's promotional item: limited edition Matsui bobbleheads.
Significantly more Japanese people in attendance.
Now, the game details.
The Return of the Jeter.
The captain not only started the game off with a solo homerun, but has broken the Yankees' streak of their 9 consecutive homerun-less games. Soriano also homered and ended the game with a sweet walk off single. Ichiro was also clutch today as he went 4-4.
My mom and I have a long history of going to Yankees games together. And most of the time, we've gotten lucky and have been able to see some memorable moments, especially Jeter's. We were there when we saw him hit his 3000th hit, and we were also there when he made his 2013 season debut, where he only played a game. Watching Yankee games is something we will cherish for a lifetime.
