Yankees remember Steinbrenner with tribute
NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera laid two lengthy-stemmed red roses across home plate. Tears filled Joe Girardi's eyes. Derek Jeter's physiognomy was flush with emotion.
As fans stood through "Taps" and a 2-summary moment of silence, the 27 World Series championship flags that George Steinbrenner cherished with all his might could be heard flapping at half-workforce toward center field from the top of Yankee Stadium in the stiff gust.
The New York Yankees celebrated the life of "The Boss" with a religious 15-minute pregame tribute Friday Cimmerian dark that included an vivid remembrance from Jeter, spoken to the pack of 47,524 from behind the plate before. New York then paid tribute by rallying to away Tampa Bay 5-4 on Nick Swisher's ninth-inning put.
"We definitely wanted to win that game," Swisher said. "That was decidedly his day."
Steinbrenner, the team's driving and blustery owner, died Tuesday, two days after the extinction of Bob Sheppard, Yankee Stadium's longtime public-lecture announcer. New York returned home following the All-Illustrious break to mark what both meant to a franchise obsessed with its habit.
"We gather here tonight to honor two men who were both shining stars in the Yankee bailiwick," Jeter said as teammates and the Rays stood ramrod perpendicular, caps off, in front of their dugouts. "Both men, Mr. George Steinbrenner and Mr. Bob Sheppard, cared intensely about their responsibilities to this organization and to our fans, and for that, will be forever remembered in baseball background and in our hearts."
