Penultimate Show--(postgame notes 20 September 2008)

After eighty five years...

After countless chilly April afternoons and frozen October nights...

After Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra, Mantle, Jackson, Mattingly and Jeter...

After record-setting home runs...

After football, popes and boxers...

After Don and the Davids...

After the drama of November baseball...

After the memories shared by our grandparents, parents and ourselves...

There is only one more game.




And it still matters.

Thanks to Alfredo Aceves, Mariano Rivera and Robinson Canò, tomorrow's game still counts.

The ghosts are out for one last time.



Here's hoping Jeter's injury isn't too serious to keep him from playing tomorrow. He has to play, it's as simple as that.

If you're going to the game tomorrow, please stay safe. It's bound to get a little crazy at the end.
