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.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, May 21, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, May 21, 2020 Braves.com Braves' 1957, '95 WS teams in Dream Bracket 2 By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- The Braves’ two most recent World Series-winning teams will represent the organization in MLB Dream Bracket 2: Dream Seasons, which begins on Thursday. Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the makers of Out of the Park Baseball 21, have created this best-of-seven series simulation tournament, which includes some of the most successful clubs in each franchise’s history. Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews will match up against Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling when the 1957 Milwaukee Braves meet the 2001 D-backs in the first round of the National League’s Region 1. As you may remember, this is the same Arizona squad that needed just five games to eliminate Atlanta from the ‘01 NL Championship Series. Chipper Jones and Atlanta’s Cy Young Award-winning trio of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz will battle Ryan Braun and Zack Greinke when the 1995 Braves face off against the 2011 Brewers in the other first-round matchup in the NL’s Region 2. Twenty-five years later, this remains the only Braves team to win a World Series since the franchise moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966. Aaron, Mathews, Red Schoendienst and Warren Spahn were the Hall of Famers that highlighted the 1957 Braves roster. Aaron hit 44 homers and won his only NL Most Valuable Player Award at the end of this memorable season. Spahn also won his only Cy Young Award that year.
