With all of the hoopla surrounding Derek Jeter's retirement, Boomer pointed out that the captain's last homestand falls on the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah.
Regardless of the weather, nobody does it better than Boomer and Craigie. The same could be said about Derek Jeter.
Jeter says it's "time for something new." And that means he'll be walking away from the game that made him a New York icon -- and a baseball legend.
Future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter is retiring after the 2014 season. Here's how the baseball world -- media members, former players and fans -- reacted to the news.
Call it a passing of the torch, of sorts. In 2015, there will only be one captain on the New York baseball scene: Mets third baseman David Wright.
Got a cool $11,000 hanging around? If so, see you in late September in the Bronx and Boston.
"I think our world has adjusted to that. ... Whoever the best players are in that clubhouse, get them in there," the Yankees manager said Tuesday.
"We've got Kelly Johnson along with a cast of characters that are going to compete for that spot from the right side," general manager Brian Cashman said. "We look for it to be a platoon situation, a lefty-righty situation."
"This would make the Boss proud," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "This is Yankee big. This is Steinbrenner big."
The guys realized that the promo they collaborated on for today's show never aired -- and they wanted to know why.
While Craig got things started Tuesday morning, Boomer was still trying to make sense of what exactly happened last night at his house.
The new Yankees pitcher from Japan, set to be introduced to the media Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, reportedly spent $195,000 to charter a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Tokyo to New York.
"He's not here for this season, so we're going to have to find ways to win with the team that we have," Jeter said. "It's a complicated situation, but it's pretty much played out. That's what has happened."
If the Yankees third baseman cares at all about returning to the game with any ounce of personal integrity in 2015, a full confession is his only exit strategy.
Babe Ruth signed the baseball for Johnny Sylvester, and wrote a promise to hit a home run for the boy during his next game. He wound up hitting three that game.
