Derek Jeter officially played his last game as a New York Yankee in Boston and although the New York captain received much respect from the Yankees’ biggest rivals, the decision to play in Boston has not been welcomed by some of the Yankees’ biggest fans.
It’s a pretty big issue in the Yanks community — a lot of New Yorkers believe Jeter should’ve hung up his cleats after his last game at Yankees Stadium last week … and NOT played out the final games of the season at Fenway against the Red Sox.
Clearly, Jerry Seinfeld thinks Jeter chose poorly … saying, “He should NOT have played in Boston. You don’t owe anybody ANYTHING!”
Of course, Jeter got a standing ovation in Beantown … with the crowd chanting his name … but according to Jerry, the storybook ending went on a few pages too long.
You can thank Samsung for this one. Because of the mini controversy that erupted when the selfie above was taken, the White House is now considering a ban on all selfies with the president.
Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz took the selfie with Obama Tuesday during the team’s visit to the White House. The pic appeared spontaneous at the moment, but it was revealed a day later that the act, taken with Ortiz’s Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone, was actually a public relations stunt orchestrated by the Korean telecom conglomerate.
“Maybe this will be the end of all selfies,” White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer said about the incident Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “(Obama) obviously didn’t know anything about Samsung’s connection to this.”
“Someone who uses the President’s likeness to promote a product… that’s a problem with the White House,” Pfeiffer added. “We’ve had conversations with Samsung about this and have expressed our concerns.”
For the entire month of October, the Red Sox kept grinding with the type of tunnel vision that allowed them to prevail in every big situation imaginable.
But during the final chapter — the one that solidified that their season will be remembered forever — they finally had a chance to soak it all in. And ditto for their rabid fan base, which was able to cheer on a World Series clincher at Fenway Park for the first time since 1918.
In winning the World Series with a 6-1 victory over the Cardinals in Game 6 on Wednesday night, the Red Sox claimed their place in history in emphatic fashion.
By the end of the fourth inning, they led, 6-0, turning the rest of the night into joyous anticipation for the celebratory pile-up of players that occurred once it truly was over.
“To be honest, the game, it was kind of hard for me to keep my emotions down,” said second baseman Dustin Pedroia. “You always want to win in front of your home fans. It didn’t happen for that long. It’s just special. This whole year, the way it all ended, the way we came back in some of these playoff games, it’s just unbelievable to think about.”
After once going 86 years without a World Series title, the one the Red Sox clinched Wednesday was their third in the past 10 seasons, the most of any team in the Majors over that span.
The one common thread to all three titles won in the last decade? David Ortiz. Even though the Cards finally elected to pitch around Papi in the clincher, he did more than enough to bring home the World Series MVP.
“You know, winning this World Series is special,” said Ortiz. “I think it might be the most special out of all the World Series that I have been part of, to be honest with you.”
They can stand and face a 105 mph fastball, but last night, the macho men of the New York Yankees and Boston Redsox players huddled and cuddled together in their respective dugout, jumping like chickens as a storm passed by.
Especially energetic in his response was Brett Gardner of the Yankees, who almost jumped out of his skin in fear, trying to take cover.
