If you're a Yankee fan, you have probably heard or participated in the infamous Roll Call. A tradition of chanting the starting lineups names, Roll Call comes from 50,000 strong in the stands every game. Do you know where this chant starts at in the stadium? How about how the chant ever started to begin with? Former Yankee legends and even celebrities have taken part in the traditions given to us by the Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creatures.

Yankees short stop Derek Jeter is coming off of one of the biggest accomplishments that a major league baseball player can get, 3,000 hits. What better way to cap that off than making an appearance at the MLB all star game, except that he didn't.
The home run derby is a part of baseball that I have loved since I was a kid. The best of the best hitters doing nothing but hitting big homers into the stands. Last night one of my favorite players took this years crown.
On Saturday, July 9th 2011, 48,103 Yankee fans all simultaneously chanted their captain's name before every single pitch during the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "Derek Jeter!" *clap clap clap* "Derek Jeter!". Then, after every David Price pitch, nobody in the stadium took a breath of air until the pitch either met the catcher's glove or Derek put some wood on the ball.
Yesterday Derek Jeter hit his 3,000th hit and it just happened to be a home run. Now there are a lot of people out there who would grab it up in hopes of either holding onto history or making a quick buck, but not one very luck Yankee fan.
What a day for Derek Jeter. He only needed 2 hits to reach the 3,000 mark and does what he has always done, perform above and beyond.
New York Yankee captain Derek Jeter is almost at a career and Yankee milestone, and we could see it happen in the next two games. It's crazy to think this great career began right here in the Albany area.
The former New York Met and Yankee joined the show today to chat about his charity organization and about how the game of baseball has changed today.
So it turns out the the New York Yankees can in fact win at home. It just turns out they can't be playing the Boston Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox are proving to be the hump that the New York Yankees cannot seem to get over this season. Boston rolls the Yanks again 11-6.
