On June 19, 1846, the first officially recorded, organized baseball match was played under Alexander Joy Cartwright’s rules on Hoboken’s Elysian Fields with the New York Base Ball Club defeating the Knickerbockers 23-1. Cartwright umpired. Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr. (April 17, 1820 – July 12, 1892) is one of several people sometimes referred to as a “father of baseball”. Cartwright is thought to be the first person to draw a diagram of a diamond shaped baseball field, and the rules of the modern game are based on the Knickerbocker rules developed by Cartwright and a committee from his club, the Knickerbocker baseball club.  With the myth of Abner Doubleday inventing baseball debunked and 46 years after his death, Cartwright in 1938, was inducted into the National Baseball hall of fame  in the executive category. Cartwright was officially declared the inventor of the modern game of baseball by the 83rd united states congress on June 3, 1953.

2008 All Star Game American league vs National

2008 was the 79th all star game.  The 2008 was played in Yankee Stadium, and it was actually the last year the yankees would ever play in that park. This all star game was one for the ages records were broken, Josh Halmiton hitting 28 homeruns in the first around of the homerun derby it was an amazing thing to watch even though he didnt win it was one to remember. The all star game started at 8: 47pm and finish at 1:38 they played for 15 inning when the american league had a man on third and J.D Drew at the plate when he hit a sacflie to end the game making the american league win 4-3 over the national league ,the game lasted almost 5 hours making it the longest played all star game ever.

Joe Girardi became the 34th manager for the New York Yankees in 2008

His first was not very successful it was the first time they Yankees won over 90 since 2000 when they won 87  games and they also miss the playoff after making it more than 10 times in a row but it was just the begining for him because next year in 2009 they won over 100 games and also winning the world series since 2000. The Next to years 2010 and 2011 he was very closed to making it again but the team was not the same as 2009 but they are able to win it if they believe and try very hard is not easy because there are 29 other teams who are going for the same thing, he hopes to have a better season in 2012 and have a very successful year like he had in 2009
