New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays September 23, 2010

Looking like the classic Yankee Stadium, before the 1973 renovation, but with modern amenities and luxuries of the finniest grand hotels, the new Yankee Stadium opened on April 16th with the Yankees taking on the Cleveland Indians. After missing the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons, the Yankees had a new look themselves as they added pitchers CC Sabathia, and A.J. Burnett along with 1B Mark Teixeira all signed with big free agent deals. While Alex Rodriguez, who started spring training dealing with the news he failed a steroids test in 2003, began the season on the disabled list following hip surgery. After a 5-4 road trip the Yankees had Sabathia on the hill for the first game at the new stadium, as Derek Jeter recorded the first hit, while Jorge Posada hit the first homer. However, the Indians got the first win, scoring nine runs in the seventh inning for a 10-2 win.
