On behalf of Yankees Universe, I would like to congratulate Zachary Lansing, who won two tickets to Game 1 of the ALDS through Yankees Universe “I WANT ALDS Tickets” Daily Draw Sweepstakes.

Derek Jeter hit a game-tying home run in the second inning.

In my last blog entry, I wrote that it was fitting that
Derek Jeter collected the first Yankees postseason hit at the new Stadium.

The anticipation is finally over.

It’s game time!

It’s 6:07 pm on October 6, and the Yankees have just taken the field for their first postseason game in the new Yankee Stadium. They are seconds away from taking on the Minnesota Twins in Game 1 of the 2009 ALDS.

If you make it out to Game 1 of the ALDS, don’t leave the
Stadium without picking up an Official 2009 ALDS program.

As I witnessed one of Hayes’ baseball lessons with 10-year-old Cameron Long, it
became apparent that Hayes’ contributions to the game go far beyond his time in
the majors.
