Yankees Field
Feb 20, 2012
Jeter was destined to be a Yankee hero。。
NEW YORK – The Armitron clock high above the left field stands said it was exactly 2 p.m. as Derek Jeter’s(notes) 3,000th hit dropped into the seats below. Typical Jeter, always perfect at just the right moment.
Somehow we should have known it would happen like this, with a sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium chanting his name in that brassy New York sing-song way: “Dehhhhhrick Jetah. Dehhhhhrick Jetah.” He had gone nearly a year in this stadium without a home run and then on a Saturday afternoon with everyone anticipating the hit that would seal his Yankee legacy, he drove a 3-2 pitch high toward left field and there was no doubt where the ball would land. He dropped his head just as he always has, trying to stifle the smile that was spreading across his lips. His New York Yankees teammates spilled from the dugout, led by the two he played with the longest here – Jorge Posada(notes) and Mariano Rivera(notes). – burying him in an embrace as he crossed home plate.
Later, after going 5 for 5 including the winning single on what had to be about the greatest day of his career, he sat behind a table in an interview room and laughed.
It was as if the whole day had been contrived in some Hollywood studio.
“If I had written it and gave it to someone, I wouldn’t have bought it,” he said.
So much swirled around the hallways beneath Yankee Stadium by the end of the day. Jay-Z and Joe Torre mingled with hangers-on and celebrity seekers. There is still a magic to 3,000 hits. Jeter is the 28th player to reach such a milestone. And as the only Yankee to ever get all 3,000 as a member of the team, Jeter was writing his own Yankee legacy – the one that will separate him from Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and all the others before him.
He was born to be a Yankee. And while such a line would come off as a trite cliché if used about any other player, it’s actually true when it comes to him. As a child growing up in Kalamazoo, Mich. he adored the Yankees, who were the favorite team of his grandmother Dot. Each summer he visited his grandparents in New Jersey and Dot would take him to Yankee Stadium where the young Jeter gazed at the giant ballpark around him and dreamed of someday wearing the same pinstriped uniform as the players running across the field below him.
According to the book, “The Captain” by Ian O’Connor, Jeter announced to his fourth-grade class that he was going to play shortstop for the Yankees when he grew up. And as he got older the obsession only strengthened. O’Connor’s book portrays the adolescent Jeter as something of a dork when it came to his favorite baseball team. He came to school wearing a Yankees cap with a Yankees pendant around his neck, Former teammates from a travelling basketball team say he even wore Yankees boxers.
It became a source of ridicule among his childhood friends, especially in the Midwest where all things New York were not beloved. But Jeter never wavered. He forever told his teammates he was going to be a Yankee. And so it was fitting that a Cincinnati Reds official named Julian Mock overruled his scouts and chose a now long-forgotten outfielder named Chad Mottola with the fifth pick of the 1992 draft, leaving Jeter to be picked by the Yankees.
Even after Jeter’s dream came true and he became the Yankees shortstop, he played as if he was still that kid back in Kalamazoo wearing his Yankees cap and pendant, playing through injuries which would have sidelined other players. He was forever a constant in New York’s lineup hitting first or second for most of his more than 16 years with the team.
Now at 37 he is not the player he once was, coming into the game hitting .257. His range at shortstop has diminished and in recent days he has been tormented by his pursuit of 3,000 hits, hoping to achieve it here at Yankee Stadium rather than on the road. Torre, who managed him for his first 12 full seasons in New York, recognized the angst, thinking of Jeter as “a mess” when trying to attain a personal milestone.
“It was uncomfortable for me to watch him at those times,” Torre said.
Jeter himself said the last few weeks have been awkward. He insisted he wasn’t fazed by the attention, but finally on Saturday he conceded: “I was lying.”
[Related: Fan returns record home run ball to Jeter]
On Saturday he came into the game needing two hits to reach 3,000. And maybe he knew the anguish would end at last. It was a perfect kind of day, with a deep blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds as if the afternoon had been painted by Norman Rockwell. He singled to left field on his first at-bat and then walked to the plate to a tremendous roar on his second. He worked Rays pitcher David Price(notes), to a full count and then the day seemed to stop as Price threw a 78-mph curveball.
Jeter’s bat met the ball with a huge crack and instantly it seemed everyone knew it was gone. Everyone, that is, but Jeter, who lowered his head and sprinted to first unsure if he had hit it far enough to be a home run. When he realized that he had, a strange feeling washed over him.
“To be honest with you, I was pretty relieved,” he said.
But this being Jeter, he seemed embarrassed by all the attention from his teammates and the crowd, which continued to roar. At one point he gestured over to Price to apologize for the distraction. As he did, he noticed the Tampa Bay players were actually applauding him.
The hit freed him, however. And suddenly he couldn’t make an out. His third time up he hit a double and suddenly he was a triple away from crazy possibility of hitting for the cycle on the day he got his 3,000th hit. His final at-bat came in the bottom of the eighth with the score tied 4-4, the go-ahead run on third and the Rays playing their infield in. He swung and hit a dribbling grounder up the middle that trickled into center field. The crowd howled one last time. How much more perfect could this day be?
Long after the game had been won, Rivera grinned and said: “I was expecting the triple.”
Torre shook his head. “I’ll tell you, that game would not have been as special for him if [the Yankees] had lost,” Torre said.
As he spoke, Jeter walked past. The old manager looked at the player and chuckled to himself. What else was there to say?
In the end it was the perfect day from the perfect Yankee.

Don Mattingly Autographed Bat / Details: Hitman $599.99 “During his 13 years in Yankee pinstripes Don Mattingly terrorized opposing pitchers winning the American League batting title in 1984 and the American League MVP in 1985. Don would go on to win 9 Gold Gloves and be named to All-Star teams from 1984 thru 1989. His on field tenacity and his power at the plate earned Mattingly the title of “”Donnie Baseball”". He finished his illustrious career with 2,153 hits, 222 home runs, 1,099 RBI’s, and a .307 lifetime batting average. He is quite possibly the best Yankee player to have never played in a World Series with the team. On August 31, 1997 the Yankees retired his number 23 and dedicated his plaque for Monument Park at Yankee Stadium. The plaque calls him “”A humble man of grace and dignity, a captain who led by example, proud of the Pinstripe tradition and dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, a Yankee forever.”" The Louisville Slugger bat is personally hand signed by Yankees great Don Mattingly with the inscription “”Hitman”".

New York Yankees M&M Boys Lithograph $39.99 It?s a beautiful day in the Bronx as a huge crowd takes in the June 30, 1960 matinee, between the Bronx Bombers and the Kansas City A’s. The?Bombers would live up their name this day as they would belt five round trippers while cruising to a 10-3 victory. Watching the action intently from the on-deck circle, in his first season in New York is Roger Maris. One inning earlier, he belted his 25th dinger of the season. Now it was the Mick?s turn to go deep, as he rockets this pitch from Bob Trowbridge into the right field seats. It was the Commerce Comet’s 18th round tripper. Mantle and Maris would stage an epic home run derby during the 1960 season, with the Mick?s league leading 40 homers edging Maris by one. Item Measures 22.25” x 16.5” |

New York Yankees – Donnie Baseball – Large – Framed Giclee $459.99 Donnie Baseball is part of a Fine Art Giclee series on canvas. It is based on an original painting by renowned sports artist Bill Purdom. During the 1980’s, when you thought of class on the baseball field, the first name that came to mind was Don Mattingly. His relentless assault on the pitching staffs of the American League earned him the nick name The Hit Man and his tireless work ethic and passion for the game, earned him the moniker Donnie Baseball. He hit over .300 every year from 1984 through 1989, and was part of a juggernaut Yankee offense that piled up runs at record rates.?Digging in against Andy Benes, and to the back drop of a serenade from the Yankee fans, The Hit Man drove this pitch deep into the right field bleachers to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead in a?1995 playoff game against Seattle. This homer turned out to be the last in the career of Donnie Baseball.?This canvas measures approximately 24×18. Limited Edition. Only 300 are available. |

Excerpt: 1935 Boston Braves Babe Ruth’s final season in majors item Location item item 1935 Information item Owner(s) : Emil Fuchs item Manager(s) : Bill McKechnie item Local television : none item Local radio : Yankee Network (Fred Hoey) In an attempt to make his dream come true to manage, Babe Ruth came to the Braves in 1935. He was hired as vice president and assistant manager, and the team owner Emil Fuchs promised Ruth a share of team profits. Offseason Regular season On opening day, Babe Ruth was part of all of the Braves’ runs in a 4-2 win over the New York Giants . This was the only time the Braves were over .500 all year. Ruth was near the end of his career. He was unable to run, and his fielding was so terrible that three of the Braves’ pitchers threatened to go on strike if Ruth were in the lineup. It soon became obvious that Ruth was part of the team because of the name recognition that he commanded. Ruth discovered that Fuchs expected him to invest some of his money in the team. Ruth retired on June 1, six days after he had what remains one of the most memorable afternoons in baseball history. It would be the last three home runs of his career in a game at Forbes Field while playing the Pittsburgh Pirates . He’d wanted to quit as early as May 12, but Fuchs wanted him to hang on so he |

Alabama Afternoons: Profiles and Conversations $17.54 Alabama Afternoons is a collection of portraits of many remarkable Alabamians, famous and obscure, profiled by award-winning journalist and novelist Roy Hoffman. Written as Sunday feature stories for the Mobile Press-Register with additional pieces from the New York Times, Preservation, and Garden & Gun, these profiles preserve the individual stories—and the individual voices within the stories—that help to define one of the most distinctive states in the union. Hoffman recounts his personal visits with writer Mary Ward Brown in her library in Hamburg, with photographer William Christenberry in a field in Newbern, and with storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham and folk artist Charlie “Tin Man” Lucas at their neighboring houses in Selma. Also highlighted are the lives of numerous alumni of The University of Alabama—among them Mel Allen, the “Voice of the Yankees” from 1939 to 1964; Forrest Gump author Winston Groom; and Vivian Malone and James Hood, the two students who entered the schoolhouse door in 1963. Hoffman profiles distinguished Auburn University alumni as well, including Eugene Sledge, renowned World War II veteran and memoirist, and Neil Davis, the outspoken, nationally visible editor of the Lee County Bulletin. Hoffman also profiles major and minor players in the civil rights movement, from Johnnie Carr, raised in segregated Montgomery and later president of the Montgomery Improvement Association; and George Wallace Jr., son of the four-time governor; to Teresa Burroughs, a Greensboro beautician trampled in the march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge; and Diane McWhorter, whose award- winning book explores the trouble- filled Birmingham civil rights experience. Juxtaposed with these are accounts of lesser-known individuals, such as Sarah Hamm, who attempts to preserve the fading Jewish culture in Eufaula; Edward Carl, who was butler and chauffeur to |

All My Octobers: My Memories of 12 World Series When the Yankees Ruled Baseball $13.99 To everyone who truly loves the game, Mickey Mantle epitomizes the golden age of baseball, when the mighty New York Yankees indisputably ruled, appearing in an unprecedented twelve World Series in fourteen years! In this intimate memoir, Mantle recounts the joys and trials of his rise from rural Oklahoma youngster to the pinnacle of baseball greatness. In All My Octobers, the one and only Mick relives every one of his World Series appearances — from the 1951 battle when he played alongside an aging Joe DiMaggio to his three-home-run performance in the 1964 showdown. In addition to the on-field heroics, Mantle talks candidly about the injuries, the alcohol, the parties and celebrations, and the terrible toll they can take on a young athlete’s life. But most of all, it is a remembrance of October greatness, of postseason pyrotechnics . . . and a loving appreciation of a team of titans that achieved something marvelous and unequaled to this day. |

Babe Ruth: Launching the Legend $16.95 How the Babe shook America from its doldrums with the crack of his batFor a country exhausted by the tragedies of war and depleted by a raging flu epidemic, the timing of George Herman Ruth’s arrival in New York in 1920 was perfect. Baseball had never seen anything like him on or off the field. His confident swagger, seductive charisma, and powerhouse swing at the plate was just what the country needed to forget its sorrows and kick off the jubilation of the Jazz Age.Babe Ruth: Launching the Legend is the story of that incredible year and the transforming power of Babe Ruth and the Yankees of 1920.When Americans wanted desperately to move on, drink gin, dance the Charleston, and enjoy a good game of baseball, the Babe gave it to them. Big time. Not only did he hit a record-breaking fifty-four home runs that season, he unleashed a new way to play the game, helped launch the Yankees dynasty, and saved baseball in the midst of the devastating “Black Sox” scandal. History was in the making.Told in luminous prose by acclaimed baseball writer Jim Reisler, Babe Ruth: Launching the Legend is a rare glimpse into the story that started it all, a year when Ruth was simply a ballplayer, an emerging star on the very verge of becoming a mythic hero.Jim Reisler has written articles for the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and Newsweek. He is the acclaimed author of three baseball books: Black Writers/Black Baseball, Babe Ruth Slept Here, and Before They Were the Bombers. He lives in Irvington, New York. |

Ruth originally broke into the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher , but after he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, he converted to a full-time right fielder and subsequently became one of the league’s most prolific hitters. Ruth was a mainstay in the Yankees’ lineup that won seven pennants and four World Series titles during his tenure with the team. After a short stint with the Boston Braves in 1935, Ruth retired. In 1936, Ruth became one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame . Ruth has since become regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture . He has been named the greatest baseball player in history in various surveys and rankings, and his home run hitting prowess and charismatic personality made him a larger than life figure in the “Roaring Twenties “. Off the field he was famous for his charity, but also was noted for his often reckless lifestyle. Ruth is credited with changing baseball itself. The popularity of the game exploded in the 1920s, largely due to his influence. Ruth ushered in the “live-ball era “, as his big swing led to escalating home run totals that not only excited fans, but helped |

Banks to Sandberg to Grace: Five Decades of Love and Frustration with the Chicago Cubs $0.01 “The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908, but more books have been written about them than any team except the Yankees. Banks to Sandberg to Grace is one of the best.”—Phil Tatman, Orlando SentinelThe Chicago Cubs are one of the most beloved teams in all of sports, though not for their success on the baseball field. The post-­World War II years have been especially rough for the Cubs: they have been without a pennant since 1945—longer than any team in the major leagues. But devoted Cubs fans continue to faithfully follow their team each season, regardless of the result. Banks to Sandberg to Grace takes the reader on a nostalgic journey through the triumphs (few), the heartaches (many), and the lighter moments, as told by those who were actually there—on the field, in the front office, or behind the scenes.In the more than 60 first-person stories spanning the last 50 years, each storyteller shares his or her personal, revealing account of what it was like to play or work for the Chicago Cubs. Hank Sauer laughs about fans in the bleachers throwing tobacco at him. The team’s longtime equipment manager, Yosh Kawano, talks about gaining the trust and friendship of players like Ryne Sandberg. And the late WGN-TV producer Arne Harris reminisces about sharing an earpiece with Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray.Cut from the cloth of memory, these warm, insightful stories make a perfect gift for Cubs fans, who, through love and frustration, remain forever faithful to their team and to the promise of “wait ’til next year.”Carrie Muskat is a reporter for MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball. Formerly a regular contributor to USA Today, she is also the author of eight sports books for children. She has covered the Cubs since 1987 and lives in Chicago, just a few miles from the Friendly Confines. |

Baseball Maniacs $13.95 In Boston: Fenway Park was our seventeenth stop. By then we”d just assumed that if you are given a media credential you are allowed on the field. But Kevin wasn”t buying that. I don”t think he believed me when I told him I simply hadn”t looked at what the credential said. We were marched back off the field, more like scolded children than like grown maniacs. In Baltimore: Greg headed up to the press box to begin work on ”Camden Yards: The Ballpark that Changed Baseball Forever, while I dashed down to the Yankees clubhouse for an experience as thrilling as any I would ever have in my life.In Toronto: Greg and I brainstormed on the Jim Rome angle. We decided to make a demo of us getting players to hype The Jungle and The Last Word. We figured our on-field access would be something Rome might want to exploit and we wanted to make it absolutely clear what we were capable of. In Anaheim: The Yankees were doing calisthenics, and though I doubt Derek realized it, I was a few feet away from him for nearly forty-five minutes. Finally an opportunity presented itself. |

Baseball in New Haven (Images of Baseball Series) $21.99 Baseball in New Haven uncovers the rich history of the national pastime in the greater New Haven area with images that highlight the sport on many levels. Numerous professional, semiprofessional, and college teams have played here, starting with Yale teams of the Civil War era and early attempts to form an “Elm City nine.”In the early 1900s, George Weiss, later the general manager of the New York Yankees, helped establish New Haven as a baseball town by drawing stars such as Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb for exhibition games. The semiprofessional West Haven Sailors kept that tradition alive in the 1930s and 1940s. That same era was a heyday for Yale, as Yale Field saw legends such as Lou Gehrig and Ted Williams take on the Elis. Ruth returned in 1948 to present a copy of his biography to the Bulldog captain, future president George H.W. Bush. Baseball in New Haven details the return of professional baseball in 1972 with the Eastern League’s West Haven Yankees and finishes with the New Haven Ravens, an Eastern League expansion team in 1994. |

Battle of Baton Rouge $13.95 Driving south down I-110 from the Baton Rouge airport you won’t know it but you will be passing the field of a battle fought long ago, August 5th, 1862. As you near the North 22nd Street Exit get ready for a trip through history. At the curve at Memorial Stadium look carefully and you may see the foggy outlines of Lieutenant Fountleroy barking orders as he unlimbers his Confederate cannon. In the curve on the left the white triangles you see are the tents of the 14th Maine Infantry Regiment. You are now headed straight toward the capitol building. See fresh earthworks thrown up around the Indian mound. Look! In front of the Governor’s Mansion are two Howitzers and nervous infantry of the 4th Wisconsin and the 9th Connecticut. They are waiting for battle and listening carefully for the sound of the long roll. At your speed you are now at North Street. In the far distance to your left are nine cannon lined up wheel to wheel at the old Orphanage. Out of the corner of your right eye you can see something rising over the levee and heading over your head. These are huge eleven-inch cannon balls from the ironclad ram U.S.S. Essex. They are exploding around North 22nd Street. Stay off the bridge. Keep straight. Slow down. Look to your right. You may be able to see flags waving off the masts of Union gunboats on the river. One mile to your left, in a deteriorating neighborhood, a battle is raging. Let down your window and listen to the rumble of Yankee cannon. Hear the sharp barking of Rebel cannon. The sound is different because they are pointed at you! At 60 mph history will fly by you. Look left down Government Street and see retreating Yankees running toward you. When you get to CityPark Lakes look to your left and you may see Colonel H. W. Allen shot off his horse by a blast of canister. Near Perkins road there are wagons filled with wounded Rebels headed you way! In the last three minutes you have passed a long ago battleground. Slow down, take a deep breath, and |

Beat ‘Em Bucs $24.22 No one expected the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates to win the National League pennant let alone the World Series against the mighty New York Yankees. But with Cy Young winner, Vernon Law, National League Most Valuable Player Dick Groat, and a group of over-achieving, come from behind players, they managed it all to the battle cry of “Beat ‘Em Bucs. “Beat ‘Em Bucs follows the Pirates as they fight their way to their first World Championship in thirty-five years. With future Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski, and a group of never say die, little known players, they fought to the final out. Now, fifty years later, the team and the final Series game are still remembered by fans who gather to listen to Game 7 at the one remaining Forbes Field wall where the calendar is turned back and once again it is October 13, 1960. |

Berry Benson’s Civil War Book $19.95 Confederate scout and sharpshooter Berry Greenwood Benson witnessed the first shot fired on Fort Sumter, retreated with Lee’s Army to its surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, and missed little of the action in between. This memoir of his service is a remarkable narrative, filled with the minutiae of the soldier’s life and paced by a continual succession of battlefield anecdotes. Three main stories emerge from Benson’s account: his reconnaissance exploits, his experiences in battle, and his escape from prison. Though not yet eighteen years old when he left his home in Augusta, Georgia, to join the army, Benson was soon singled out for the abilities that would serve him well as a scout. Not only was he a crack shot, a natural leader, and a fierce Southern partisan, but he had a kind of restless energy and curiosity, loved to take risks, and was an instant and infallible judge of human nature. His recollections of scouting take readers within an arm’s reach of Union trenches and encampments. Benson recalls that while eavesdropping he never failed to be shocked by the Yankees’ foul language; he had never heard that kind of talk in a Confederate camp! Benson’s descriptions of the many battles in which he fought – including Cold Harbor, the Seven Days’, Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg – convey the desperation of a full frontal charge and the blind panic of a disorganized retreat. Yet, in these accounts, Benson’s own demeanor under fire is manifest in the coolly measured tone he employs. A natural writer, Benson captures the dark absurdities of war in descriptions such as those of hardened veterans delighting in the new shoes and other equipment they found oncorpse-littered battlefields. His clothing often torn by bullets, Benson was also badly bruised a number of times by spent rounds. At one point, in May 1863, he was wounded seriously enough in the leg to be hospitalized, but he returned to the field before full recuperation. Benson was |

Brooklyn Dodgers: The Last Great Pennant Drive 1957 $7.95 No baseball summer is as memorable for me as that July when the Dodgers began a winning streak in a suddenly torrid, topsy-turvy National League pennant race.Fifty years after they played their last baseball game, the Brooklyn Dodgers are still remembered by millions of people. From 1947 to 1956, the Dodgers captured six out of ten National League pennants and they defeated the mighty New York Yankees in the 1955 World Series. The year 1957, however, is recalled mainly for the decision by Dodger president Walter O’Malley to move his team to Los Angeles the following year.In Brooklyn Dodgers: The Last Great Pennant Drive, 1957, author John Nordell tells the story of the Dodgers’ mid-season surge in the standings during that last year in Brooklyn. Using research from a variety of sources, Nordell recreates the excitement of following the Dodgers and their National League rivals in the daily drama of a five-team pennant race. The author also draws on his own youthful memories of that year and describes the unforgettable thrill of seeing a game at Ebbets Field. The book includes numerous photographs and a concluding chapter that discusses the outcome of the 1957 pennant race, the major factors and personalities involved in the Dodger move west, and the end of an era in baseball. |

Chasing the Dream: My Lifelong Journey to the World Series $7.99 Maybe the good Lord was just waiting for me to put on the pinstripes. When Joe Torre was fired as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1995, he thought his career in baseball was over. After more than three decades and4,200 games as a player and manager, one thing had always eluded him–winning a World Series. He had all but given up his dream when the New York Yankees made him an offer to manage their 1996 club. Encouraged by his wife and others, he accepted, and so began one of the greatest seasons in the fabled history of the New York Yankee franchise and one of the most inspiring, heartwarming stories in all ofbaseball. Here is the ultimate insider’s record of that unforgettable season by the man whose personal struggles captured the hearts and imaginations of fanseverywhere. Tough, gritty, but always fair and honest, Torre vividly reveals how he turned a potentially volatile mix of talented youngsters such as AndyPettitte and Derek Jeter, seasoned veterans like Wade Boggs and Paul O’Neill, and so-called problem players like Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden into a cohesive unit that cared more about winning than personal egos. He explains how he played his hunches and earned his team’s confidence and respect as hefocused his players from spring training on toward one goal: the World Series. And he did it all in a pressure-filled sports city that expects nothing lessthan a champion. But how he did it is only part of this remarkable story. For at the same time that Torre was overcoming the odds on the field, his family was facing muchgreater hardships off the field. He speaks candidly and emotionally of the tragedy of his oldestbrother Rocco’s sudden death, and the agonizing ordeal ofhis other older brother, Frank, who waited for the heart transplant that could save his life. It was his wife, Ali, who gave him the faith to believeanything was possible. Together with his sisters Rae and Sister Marguerite, |
