Bubba

Wasn't he once our President?

You know things are going right for the Yankees when a rarely used player named Bubba hits a walk off Homer.

"Rarely used reserve Bubba Crosby led off the bottom of the ninth inning with his first home run this year, giving New York a 3-2 victory Monday night over the Baltimore Orioles.

About 40 minutes later, the rival Red Sox lost 8-7 at Tampa Bay, leaving the Yankees only a half-game out of first place in the AL East and tied with Boston in the loss column.

``I've never hit a walk-off homer ever, anywhere, even in Little League, in my life,'' Crosby said. ``And to hit one here at Yankee Stadium, this time of year, when it counts, it doesn't get any better than that.''
