July 9, 2011.
It’s a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in the Bronx. Yankee Stadium is sold out, the crowd the most raucous it’s been since Game 6 of the 2009 World Series. The New York Yankees are starting to age as a team, and it shows, but they still sit second in the AL East and only a game behind the Red Sox.
Every sports bar near Yankee Stadium and in the five boroughs is prioritizing the game. History is just around the corner.
Fresh off a calf injury, Derek Jeter is two hits away from 3,000 hits, not to mention becoming the first Yankee to achieve the milestone.
