New York Yankees win their final season opener at Yankee Stadium.
With the Toronto Blue Jays in town, the Yankees were ready to play their last season opener in their stadium. Not only was it the final season opener, but it was the Yanks manager, Joe Giradi's, first game as the club manager.
Having the original first game postponed due to rain, Chien-Mein Wang was able to shut down the Blue Jays through the 7 innings that he pitched. Wang received a lot of support from his team as they were able to get 8 hits and 3 runs which was just enough to win 3-2. Alex Rodriguez had a double and RBI and Melky Cabrera was given the honor of being the last New York Yankee to hit a home run in a season opener game.
Once Mariano Rivera recorded the save, he handed the ball to Giradi as a souvenir; "He just congratulated me and he said that's No. 1 and let's get a lot more," Girardi said. "It's a neat moment for me." With Giradi having to fill some big shoes (Joe Torre) he is under some pressure as being manager and as being the final manager in Yankee Stadium. So far he's off to a great start!
My Opinion: With the Yanks playing their final season at Yankee Stadium, I think they will be coming out to win the World Series. What's a better way to end a then to bring the trophy back to the right home? The fans will be giving a great amount of support through every game so I think that the Yanks will be able to win it all!
