The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team which has founded in the borough of the Bronx. New York Yankees are a member of Major League Baseball’s American League East Division. One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, and moved to New York City in 1903, becoming known as the New York Highlanders before being officially renamed the "Yankees" in 1913.
The professional baseball team of New York Yankees placed Lance Berkman on the disabled list with a sprained right ankle on Thursday morning."We just felt Berkman's injury hasn't progressed quite as quickly as we wanted it to," Joe Girardi said. Triple-A infielder Eduardo Nunez was called up to take Berkman's roster spot. Alex Rodriguez is listed as day to day with a left calf strain so the Yankees need Nunez to present depth in the infield. Prior to Nunez's arrival, catcher Francisco Cervelli had been the team's most competent backup infielder. The Yankees Wednesday began to consider for the first time, unwillingly, the frightful possibility of a postseason without Andy Pettitte, their October beacon. It isn't an attractive proposition, no matter how you spin it. Pettitte is experienced, he's lefty and he's clutch. He is 18-9 lifetime in the postseason over 12 seasons, with a 3.90 ERA. He went 4-0 during the 2009 playoffs, and every Yankee fan feels all warm inside watching Pettitte scowl over his mitt. He is the stopper, the momentum-changer, the most trustworthy big-game pitcher.
New York Yankees bullpen, including David Robertson and Kerry Wood, escapes tight Tigers jams. David Robertson was asked what kind of pressure he felt when he inherited a bases-loaded, none-out situation in the eighth inning Wednesday night."I'm like ice out there," Robertson said with a laugh, before quickly adding, "You're never calm out there. It's always spinning in your head when you're out there."But Robertson never let the Tigers see him sweat, even when Brandon Inge launched a Robertson pitch to deep left for the first out, a sac fly that scored the only inherited run Robertson would allow. A delegation of the New York Yankees baseball team is probably to visit the United Nations Headquarters (UNHQ) on Wednesday, to honor a 17-year-old student from the Bronx, a borough in New York City. The Yankees award Mohamed Kamara, who is formerly from Sierra Leone and now lives in the Bronx, for his community service and academic excellence. Kamara overcame a difficult childhood in the war-torn Sierra Leone and now manages to successfully combine going to school and supporting his family back home. The visit is part of the Yankees' "HOPE Week" (Helping Others Persevere and Excel), a program set up by the Yankees to highlight amazing stories of exciting individuals who are active in their own communities.
