I hope you heard this. The shouts, chants…the applause before, during and after the home run. I hope you saw it too. The hugs from his teammates (including Jeter)…the curtain call…the applause when he ran out to his position. Dare I say it? … this place …um, loves A-Rod…
What a difference a few months, a few clutch home runs and MVP-like numbers make. He may even take down Roger Maris’ club record (or the non-juiced, MLB, single-season home run record). And now that the stress of hitting this home run is off, A-Rod and the Yankees can get on with their season.
Yes, the place shook like it was October up here in the Bronx. And perhaps this is just A-Rod’s honeymoon until then. But for now, it’s enough to buy him a little peace and quite.

The loser Yankee fans will boo him any chance they get from here on in, just like they did to Roger Clemens the other day. Enjoy them both while you can, because neither one of them will be back next year!
