Fan drove five hours to see the Yankees play the Braves and winds up catching milestone - NY Daily News - Mark Feinsand - When Randy Kearns made the five-hour drive from Asheboro, N.C., to Turner Field for his first Yankees game, he had no idea his night at the ballpark would end with a trip to the Bombers’ clubhouse. - The 15-year-old earned the trip Tuesday night by catching Alex Rodriguez’s 23rd career grand slam, which tied A-Rod with Lou Gehrig for the most slams in baseball history. - Kearns had no idea that he had just caught history, but Eddie Fastook, the Yankees’ executive director of team security, located the lucky fan to see if he would return the ball to A-Rod in exchange for a meeting and some memorabilia.
Video: A-Rod hits record 23rd grand slam to tie Gehrig - USATODAY - The New York Yankees third baseman hit his 23rd grand slam, tying Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. Manny Ramirez has 21, followed by Eddie Murray with 19 and Willie Mays and Robin Ventura with 18. Rodriguez took a 3-2 pitch from Atlanta Braves reliever Jonny Venters and drilled a line drive over the fence in left field at Turner in the eighth inning. The home run tied the game.
American Horror Story - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - Standing a few feet away from Jerry Sandusky, as he laughed and reminisced with friends in the front row of the courtroom, made me want to take a shower. Just not in the Penn State locker room. That was the gateway to horror where innocence was devoured by evil, over and over and over again, without a word being said. Just rhythmic smacking and slapping noises, silent screams, gutted psyches.
