I watched some of the festivities. It's always nice to assemble the old faces of the franchise. It seemed to me that the vet, who received the biggest ovation, wasn't Reggie, ogi or Whitey, but Paul O'Neill, a quiet bulldog of a player. Probably almost half of the fans there don't remember Reggie playing. It makes me feel old.
But what is up with Joe Pepitone? Was that a joke? I thought people only looked like that at Halloween. He looked like that cheesy night club character that Andy Kauffman used to do...Vic Something-or-other.
Also, while introducing the Yankee batting lineup, I would have selected music other than the Star Wars theme.
I missed Bernie Williams playig the guitar in centerfield (He's really promoting that CD). And I missed the laying of Babe Ruth's bat at home plate. When many of Babe's artifacts were on tour from his museum in Baltimore, I made a point to see it when it came to town.

Bernie played well, Klyd. They have his autographed guitar on display at the Hard Rock that's in the stadium, too, which is kind of cool. Btw, where are all the "Jeter's over-rated", "he's started his inevitable decline", "He can't hit in the clutch," nay-sayers now? Isn't it Derek Jeter who has now won TWO games with a home-run?  It was great to see Mo on the mound last night. He may be almost 40, but the man can still throw.

13 hits, 14 runs in 1 inning. 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Are any of you Yankee fans worried about your new stadium? It seems I could hit a homerun to right field, and the weather hasn't even gotten warm yet. So far, the stadium looks like a pitcher's nightmare. There did seem to be some "cheapie" homeruns over the weekend, especially to right field. Hafner hit one out to left that looked as though it was a routine flyball, but I'd wait to see how many game homeruns are hit at home, compared to away after the season's over. April is usually not a good month for long balls. By the way, the Posada homerun looked like it was a case of fan interference. While the ball appeared to be on its way over the fence, I thought the fan reached over the fence and into the field of play before the fielder had an opportunity to catch it. As such, the batter should have been declared out. The call didn't affect the outcome in all likelihood.
