The Yankees won their home opener at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. Andy Pettite pitches great. Jeter goes yard. Jorge gets three hits. Mo gets the save. The "core four" shine. The team gets its 2009 World Championship rings, which are handed out by Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. Matsui, the World Series MVP, who happens to be there with the Angels, gets his ring, gets a huge ovation, and is greeted with hugs from his former teammates. Jeter and Girardi visit the owner's box and personally deliver a championship ring to The Boss. A new World Championship banner hangs over the new Yankee Stadium. A very good day in the Bronx.

And Gene Monahan was there. He is not well. Jorge said having him there meant more than anything to him. - Alan
So proud to be a yankee fan today .
Love it when they get things right. Opening day was pure class. you know we all had problems with the parade. The way they handled Matsui was just great.
