Sorry Samit, had to.
Hey, at least I’m a true Yankee fan.
A week ago, 2K Sports invited a bunch of journalists (including yours truly) to a press event at Citi Field before a Phillies-Mets game. We met the winner of the Major League Baseball 2K11 $1 million perfect-game contest, a guy named Brian Kingrey from Hammond, Louisiana, and I wrote a story on Destructoid about him.
They had the journalists play Kingrey and try to get hits off of him, just like last year. I was the only one who got a hit against the 2010 million-dollar winner, and I won a Jose Reye-autographed Mets jersey (which I promptly gave to my brother, a Mets fan, as a graduation present). I also won this year, and I got the item in the photo above: a baseball autographed by Roy Halladay! I think I’ll hold on to this one…
For the full story, go here.
Marketing Campaign of the Day: New Era launched a new ad campaign today, which features John Krasinski as a die-hard Red Sox fan engaging in some exponentially trashier trash talk with loyal Yankees supporter Alec Baldwin.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating the Yankees 9-6 on Opening Day at Fenway. Do with that what you will.

Is our season over?
No four-leaf clover
I feel it’s getting colder
Now that it’s late fall
Can you still remember
April to November
You and I were members
Of the best team in baseball
“Baseball”

Congrats to the San Francisco Giants, the 2010 World Series Champions!
Next thought: Yankees in 2011!
See you in 2011, Yankees…hopefully with Cliff Lee at the top of the rotation.
