A baseball lesson for Beckham at the game of Yankees and Blue Jays

August 28th, 2007

An injured soccer player, David Beckham, and his crew watched the New York Yankees trim the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in a exciting baseball game with the participation of some of baseball’s greatest hitters.

Beckham together with Los Angeles Galaxy team members prolonged their stay in Toronto after a 0-0 draw against Toronto FC on Sunday and took part in a Blue Jays-Yankees party.

Beckham said he did not know much about baseball, however he could easily recognize the Yankees slugger Alex Rodriquez, who is very much popular with the fans, just like Beckham.
Yankees manager Joe Torre gave Beckham a personal tour around the New York dressing room as David was rather enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, the ankle injury of Beckham prevented him from taking part in many events, and he could only make promotional appearances since making the jump from Spanish giants Real Madrid to Los Angeles.
The player Rodriguez became the youngest player in major league history to hit 500 career homers on Saturday, and he also contributed two hits and a run to the New York struggle, while the Yankees snapped the Blue Jays 8 game home winning period, having achieved their 4th straight victory.

Robinson Cano made an important move, his 2-run double keying a 4-run 6th inning put New York in front 5-3.
Mariano Rivera clinched the victory and struck out the last 3 Toronto batters for his 18th save of the season.
The first half of the season was not the best one for the Yankees, leaving them just a half-game back of Detroit for the American League wild card spot.
