Rock On!
From the TC Palm -
The Bronx Bombers sure do draw a crowd no matter where they go.
Friday, at Roger Dean Stadium against St. Louis, it was more of the same. Fans battled for position along the fences to get autographs. Media members hustled inside the New York clubhouse for interviews.
This is a way of life for the New York Yankees, regardless if it’s Jupiter, Tampa or the Big Apple.
“It’s awesome,” said catcher Kelly Stinnett, who signed with the Yankees in the offseason. “I guess it’s kind of like being a rock star. Everybody follows you around. Everywhere you go.
“Every place is sold out, and it’s a great feeling.”
Last season, the team drew more than 4 million fans to Yankee Stadium. That’s not only the most in the league, but also more than double that of 12 other franchises. On the road, the Yankees average 37,036 in attendance. Just five other teams average that many per home contest.
Sing it Kelly……..
Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh, my soul
Hey kid, boogey too, did ya
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on
And where do we go from here
Which is the way that’s clear
Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
James Dean
