And for A-Rod, he was prepared to leave the game he fell

excitement ran through my body as we were approaching the Stadium. I then realized that I was going to witness the iconic Derek Jeter complete his final season. Childhood memories were reappearing as the loud mouthed New Yorkers Hollered and polluted fumes were settling. Bronx, New York is truly a place one needs to visit.

After Monday nights heroics, Beltran now stands at third on the club in batting average (.288), first
