December 13, 1988.....The Day the Yankees Rised

A long long time ago I can still remember how the news used to make me frown. But that December made me shiver with the paper I picked up off the doorstep, after reading it I could not take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried when I read about that TV deal before my eyes, something touched me deep inside the day that Day the Yankees Rised.

So Bye Bye Baseball, Hot Dogs and Apple Pie, I drove my Chevy to the levee and realized that this will be the day the Pirates and Royals die.

Do you know what was revealed the day the Yankees Rised.

Now for twenty five years the Pirates and Royals have been on their own like Brandon Moss growing on a Jeff Stone.

When that Steinbrenner sang to that MSG network in a coat he borrowed from James Dean, Oh later, while the rest of the league was looking down, Jeter stole the MLB crown.

Cause when the baseball players tried to take the field, The Yankees refused to yield.

Do you know what was revealed the day the Yankees Rised.

Since that time Jeter be nimble, Jeter be Quick, Jeters won everywhere except Candlestick, cause TV money is the Devil's only friend.  No California Angel born could break that Steinbrenner spell, I saw Steinbrenner laughing with delight the day the Yannkees Rised.

The three men I admired the most Riveria, Jeter and Rodriguez all caught the Yankee train to the East Coast.

Do you know what was revealed the day the Yankees Rised.
