The Yankees opened their new stadium today with class and paying respects to the past. The Yankees even went as far as bring the original bat that Babe Ruth used when he hit the first home run in the original Yankee stadium. They lay ed the bat across home plate as Derek Jeter walked up to the plate and stepped into the batters box to lead off the bottom of the 1st. The Yankees also called on past members of years gone by. Such players as Bernie Williams, Paul Oneil, Dave Winfield just to name a few and of course Yogi Berra. Bernie also did a very cool version of "take me out to the ball game" on acoustic guitar standing in centerfield. C.C. Sabithia wasn't great but good enough for six innings giving up 1 run. The bullpen was were the game exploded for the yanks in the 7th. They gave up 9 runs to be exact with Jose Veras, Damaso Marte causing the most damage. On the bright side Robinson Cano went 3-4 and Jorge Posada hit the first home run in the new Yankee stadium.
