New York Yankees

Mm.

So let me start by telling you that we promote our prospects publicly because we want other GMs and other scouts to believe that our prospects are really good, and the Yankees are the best at this.

[laughs]

They over-hype their prospects in a way that we always dreamt and dream of doing.

Uh, but it reminds me of the question that's been asked a lot this, this week, and it's a useful question.

Um, uh, uh, did we win the war on terror, or was the war on terror worth it, or what lessons should we draw from 9/11? And, and again, I find it an interesting discussion, but I almost feel like, you know, after the fourth inning of a baseball game, we're, we're asking, "So did the Yankees, uh, win? I mean, did, uh, was, was the fourth inning worth it?"

Right.

And I'm like-

And an Astros fan

... and your husband's a Yankees fan.

Hardcore Texan.

That can't be good in the family.

Appreciate that.

And coming up in our GMA Morning Menu, Yankees great Derek Jeter's here talking about the special we worked on together and how the country came together to heal after 9/11.

Also ahead, Robin sat down with the last survivor pulled from the rubble of the World Trade Center as her daughter speaks for the first time about how that day impacted her life.

And it's all coming up right here on GMA.

Derek, thank you for being here in studio with us.

And, and let's just go right back to 9/11.

You were playing for the Yankees.

You were living in the New York area.

I think even the Braves had said afterward that that was one they were happy to give up that day.

Yankees, Mets, New York, it's going to be emotional.

It's going to be a spectacle.

I actually cannot wait to watch this game tonight.

Yeah, and a really good pitching matchup, too.

Nolan McClain, the ace here for the Mets, up against Carlos Rodon for the Yankees.

Really one that I don't even know if I want to just get involved at all, but I will certainly have an eye on, of course, with all of the dramatics and the things that will be happening both pregame and during the game.

It may be one of the great renditions of God Bless America.

That pitch is in there for a called strike to Billy Williams.

The magic number for the Dodgers is now four, and in the American League, the magic number for the Yankees is two.

Any combination of Dodger victories and giant losses totaling four will give the Dodgers the pennant.

Pitch is outside.

One and one.

Any combination of Yankee wins and Minnesota losses totaling two.

Give the pennant to the New York Yankees.

Miller into the stretch position as Hubs leads.

Darby, the two-out batter, he's got a high pop that Concepcion brought down in the first inning.

In the American League, the Yankees will try and break a five-game losing streak, the last two of which have come to the expansion Toronto Blue Jays, a day game at Yankee Stadium.

Don Gullit 0-2 against Steve Hagen 1-0.

Norman with two out.

Threw him in a hat and drew him out and the way he pulled him out with the way they would be hitting against Toronto this afternoon.

Foul bat.

So the Yankees fiery manager could bring out an often used cliche trying drastic measures today to see if his club cannot snap its losing streak and Get back on the winning ways.

Norman attempts to 1-2-3 the Dodgers in the fourth inning and 1-2 on Garvey as he exchanges baseballs with plate umpire Frank Pulley.

That'll be a later start.

The American League, the Yankees are at Detroit.

It's going to be Stafford against the Gary.

The end of four innings, the Indians nothing, the Senators nothing.

Shirley Neal on deck.

Fired low, and it's out full now at 3-2.

In Detroit, the Tigers have scored four runs in the bottom of the first and lead the Yankees 4-0 at the end of one inning of play.

Stafford against the Gary Al Kaline.

They were in a pennant race.

The Yankees were on their way to a World Series that year.

They ultimately lost to Arizona.

So the sports world certainly was a big factor there.

2011 Red Sox.

Nine games ahead of the top wild card team.

Game and a half ahead of the Yankees.

Went 7-20 in September in 2011.
