Yankees Had The Luck Of The Irish Today
The spring training game on this Saint Patrick’s Day between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox didn’t fare well for the Red Sox. Unfortunately the Luck of the Irish wasn’t with them at Legends Field.
Nothing against the Yankees, but I’m a bit partial to the Red Sox considering the legendary Ron “Papa Jack” Jackson during his tenure with the Red Sox, was gracious enough to give a batting lesson to one of my son’s and his Little League team a few years back and he still has a personally autographed Red Sox T-Shirt that says “Somebody got-ta pay” “Papa Jack” 1918…2004…!
What clinched the win for the Yankees?……..Hideki Matsui, Bobby Abreu and Andy Pettitte. Matsui: With three solid hits, brought three of his teammates home. Abreu: Hitting his second home run of spring training, three runs were brought in during the second inning.
Yankee pitcher, Andy Pettitte - yep, that’s a pic of him above, (of whom which I never actually heard of him until recently via the Roger Clemens controversy - yes, I’ve been lost somewhere in the “sports closet”), anyways, he felt a bit fatigued in the third inning giving up two runs and grazing David Ortiz at the plate with one of his pitches.
However, all in all, Pettitte ended up throwing 65 pitches and pitched a pretty good game (from what I saw of highlights) considering he’s been out for ten days because of an mild injury to his forearm.
I like to see American sports, coz i don’t have most of them in my back home in Indonesia. I tried american football touch my american friend, i enjoyed. Miss it….Keep it up, my friend.
God bless you!
