Melky Cabrera is quickly making a name for himself in the New York Yankees organization. Coming onto the scene in 2006, Cabrera has established himself as a young and productive player in the MLB. Yankee fans can sure expect to see this guy around the clubhouse for years to come.No one expected the June 6, 2006, game between the Yankees and Red Sox to be a pitchers' duel, but it was, as Chien-Ming Wang and Sox rookie David Pauley duked it out. By the top of the eighth, the Yankees were clinging to a 2-1 lead, a lead they took courtesy of a bases-loaded walk to Jason Giambi, when Yankees killer Manny Ramirez stepped to the plate against reliever Kyle Farnsworth. Ramirez launched a rocket to left, a shot that looked destined to reach the seats, but Melky Cabrera, the 21-year-old rookie who had replaced the injured Hideki Matsui in left field, tracked down the ball, jumped high against the fence and snatched it from the air, robbing an expletive-muttering Ramirez of a game-tying home run, turning centerfielder Johnny Damon into a one-man cheering section and sending the fans at sold-out Yankee Stadium into a frenzy that resulted in a rare curtain call for a defensive play. The Yankees went on to win the game 2-1, and Cabrera's grab is already considered as memorable a part of the storied Yankees-Red Sox rivalry as Derek Jeter's famous diving catch and Aaron Boone's extra-inning home run. Melky Cabrera has hand signed this 16x20 photograph of him making his extraordinary play. This product comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
Yankee stadium hosted some of the most prominent moments in sports history and was home to baseball greats such as Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Roger Maris. It featured Gehrig?s farewell speech, Larsen?s World Series perfect game, Maris 61st HR, Reggie Jacksons 1977 3 HR World Series game. The 1998 Yankees, who completed the one of the greatest seasons in sports history, played here. It featured those memorable 2001 World Series thrills and goodbyes, the 2003 Aaron Boone Walk Off, and more recently Derek Jeter?s Amazing dive and Alex Rodriguez?s 500th HR. Fittingly, during the final home stand, Derek Jeter became the all time hit leader at Yankee Stadium, passing Lou Gehrig and sealing a record that can never be broken. 2008 Marked the end of an American era in sports. On September 21st, 2008 on a Sunday evening in the Bronx, NY, Yankee Stadium opened its hallowed gates one final time, the historic park, which had hosted 39 World Series and 26 Championships teams, was finally coming to a close. In the most fitting of fashions, the Yankees won their final game ever at Yankee Stadium, 7-3, over a familiar rival, the Baltimore Orioles. Fittingly, the game was closed out by arguably the best to ever do it, Mariano Rivera, and featured players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, amongst others future Hall Of Famers. The night also featured a fantastic pre-game ceremony, as well as visits from some Yankees classics Including Berra, Ford, Larsen, O?Neill, Martinez and Williams. This 14x20 Framed Yogi Berra Speech commemorates his video address to the fans during that final ceremony, with a transcript of the exact speech, and is a must own for any Yankees or baseball fan.
