Opening Day Yankees win 6-3
Opening Day Yankees win 6-3
It felt more like winter than Opening Day but the cold weather didn’t deter the Yanks’ Opening Day victory over the Tigers at the Stadium this afternoon.
Curtis Granderson hobbled by an oblique strain put on a show against his former team to lead the Yankees to a 6-3 win in front of 48,226 chilled customers. Granderson produced a diving catch in the first, reached the second deck in right with a game-winning homer in the seventh off lefty Phil Coke, and made a running catch in the ninth.Granderson had suffered his injury in batting practice March 22 and was doubtful for the game today .

Mets to sell 49% stake
In a very significant move the Mets team ownership has chosen a preferred bidder a group led by former commodities trader Ray Bartoszek and investor Anthony Lanza have been in advanced talks since last week on the proposed deal to sell up to a 49 percent stake in the down and out Mets for $200 million.
The talks have reached the iron out details stage, could be wrapped up and announced by month end. One of the sticking points, is whether the bidders will be allowed to purchase a small piece of SportsNet New York, the profitable regional sports network controlled by Sterling Equities, the investment firm run by Mets owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz. Sterling Equities is the current 100 percent of the Mets.

Former Yankee fears “wife swap” movie
Former Yankee Mike Kekich is looking to block Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s movie “The Trade,” based on the huge 1970′s wife swap scandal when he and fellow pitcher Fritz Peterson swapped wives. The Die-hard Red Sox fan Affleck and his brother, Casey, are rewriting a second version of the script and have hired veteran sportswriters to help reach out to Yankees from that era. But Kekich, who’s believed to have created a completely new life and family in New Mexico, is refusing to participate.
