Yankees Host Bananas with Special Appearances

The Yankees hosted the Savannah Bananas for a Banana Ball weekend at Yankee Stadium. Former Yankees player and Monument Park honoree Tino Martinez made a special appearance as a pinch-hitter. Broadway performer Derek Klena took the mound to pitch while singing "Phantom of the Opera." The event also included appearances by characters from Aladdin.

Meanwhile, former Yankees leadoff hitter DJ LeMahieu posted on Instagram expressing thanks for his years in pinstripes. While not officially retired (he still has $12 million left on his contract), the post with comments from teammates like Aaron Judge and CC Sabathia suggests a potential farewell to his playing career. syntagm.co.za
