Jorge Posada’s final At Bat: Yankees big set to retire: Share in a hare-mail on Facebook Share on Twitter Stumble Upon hare hare RedditShare on DiggSubscribe Yes, but this spacer articleybh Print By John Romano, "YBH" - I'll go ahead and say something the Yankees have yet to say!: Thank you Jorge Posada and good luck! Tonight, Jorge Posada ended his career with the New York Yankees. Mr. Posada’s last at bat was a ground out to Detroit Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta in the bottom of the 8th inning. An anti- climactic end to a great career, Mr. Posada had a disappointing season this year, during his first and only at the designated hitter spot, after serving as the Yankees starting catcher for 14 years. He hit .235 for the season and batted in 44 runs over 115 games. Mr. Posada did, however, have a great post season in five games against Detroit in the ALDS batting .429. Posada’s late season surge and Robinson Cano’s post season home run prowess were not enough to get the Yankees past a resilient Tigers club. Detroit’s two first inning home runs last night put the Yankees on the defense and the team simply could not recover.
Detroit bested the Yankees 3-2 in a thrilling game 5 which sent the Tigers to the ALCS for the first time since 2006. The Tigers face the Texas Rangers in a best-of-seven series that begins on Saturday. La Posada 40 years has hit 275 homers and struck in 1065 operates in a sixteen-year career with the New York Yankees. His lifetime batting average is .273. He will be missed.Jorge Posada’s final At Bat: Yankees big set to retire:
