NEW YORK • Before locating the seats that Derek Jeter likely provided the tickets for through a mutual acquaintance, Adam Wainwright and his brother wanted to see what it was like atop Yankee Stadium.
Wainwright, fresh off his first full season as a pro, planned a “guy’s trip” to New York with his older brother, Trey. In addition to meet-and-greets with financial advisers and a jaunt to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the centerpiece of their visit was this: A night in the Bronx, a first visit to The House that Ruth Built to watch Roger Clemens go for his 20th win.
