4 Days Before Opening Day part 3

Jeter unofficially the first Yankee to hit a home run in New Yankee Stadium. That's right. During batting practice today Derek Jeter hit a home run over the left field on just his third pitch. Something tells me some of the Yankees feel right at home in the bigger Cathedral.

On Sportscenter tonight they were talking about Yankees pitching. It was funny because they said that all 5 of the starters could match up against any other starter. That is amazing to hear as a Yankees fan. I do remember last year and the absence of a rotation. This 5 starter rotation is a dream come true. Not only that but when the starters come out the bullpen gets put in and is said to be so much better than anyone thinks. Then Rivera to finish the game up and we all know how good Rivera is.

Sabathia, Burnett, Wang, Pettitte, Chamberlain..A Force to be reckoned with.

ALSO, Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who landed the impaired US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Yankees' exhibition game vs. the Cubs on Saturday. Quite an honor to throw the pitch against two of the most popular teams in American history.
