CONGRATULATIONS DEREK AND THE TURN 2 FOUNDATION On making a difference in the lives of children February 12, 2014 I want to start by saying thank you. I know they say that when you dream you eventually wake up. Well, for some reason, I’ve never had to wake up. Not just because of my time as a New York Yankee but also because I am living my dream every single day. Last year was a tough one for me. As I suffered through a bunch of injuries, I realized that some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle. The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward. So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last. As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100% sure. And the thing is, I could not be more sure. I know it in my heart. The 2014 season will be my last year playing professional baseball. V Yankees captain, closing the old and opening the new Yankee Stadium.

ABSTRACT In March of 2012, Forbes Magazine ranked the most valuable brands in all of sports. Trailing only Manchester United’s $2.235 billion valuation, the next most valuable franchises are Spain’s Real Madrid of La Liga BBVA, and Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees. As the two of the three most dominant brands in all of sports, Real Madrid and the New York Yankees are frequently mentioned in the same context as one another, but rarely discussed through more extensive market research comparing their brand management strategies. By utilizing Kevin Keller’s acclaimed Customer-Based Brand Equity model, the relative strength of the brands for Real Madrid and the New York Yankees will be assessed based on their ability to successfully integrate six core components within their brand: brand salience, brand performance, brand imagery, brand judgments, brand feelings, and brand resonance.

  • A Ruth Family Member at Wrigley Is a Once-A-Century Treat
    A Ruth family member at Wrigley is a once-a-century treat By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 The Babe Ruth family must be spe- cial. They grace Wrigley Field just once a century. The patriarch with the 714 homers, of course, paid the only 20th century vis- it in a memorable two World Series games on Oct. 1-2, 1932. One of pop- ular culture’s most enduring legends – The Called Shot – came out of that as Babe Ruth gave as good as he got. His dramatic homer off the Cubs’ Charlie Root that he may, or may not, have predicted silenced his foes and Cubs fans who had verbally roasted him and thrown lemons at him in left field. In honor of that seminal event, the Cubs gave away a pointing Babe Ruth bobblehead on Friday, May 16, 2014 Julia Ruth Stevens proved a trouper, like her father, in at Wrigley Field as part of the ball- her Wrigley Field appearance. park’s season-long centennial cele- bration. To top it off, the team invited Julia Ruth Stevens, Ruth’s 97-year-old daughter, to throw out the first pitch and sing in the seventh inning. That was the family’s representation in the 21st century. Stevens proved as good a trouper as her father. Assisted by her son, Tom Stevens, she carried out her ceremonial duties both pre-game and in the seventh. In between, Julia Stevens provided a fascinating look at her father, the greatest player in baseball history, during a broadcast-booth interview with Cubs TV announcers Len Kasper and Jim Des- haies.
