No. 53 (Abreu and Cabrera) Helps the Yankees
By JOSHUA ROBINSON

Published: April 30, 2009

Six months after he last wore the number 53 for the Yankees, Bobby Abreu was
still helping them out — his error in the fourth inning put his former team
in front. And in the eighth, with the score tied once again, it was the
player who followed him into the pinstriped No. 53 jersey who gave the
Yankees the lead for good.

With a line drive right to Abreu’s patch of the field, Melky Cabrera singled
in Robinson Cano from third for what proved to be the decisive run Thursday
night in the Yankees’ 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the Yankee
Stadium mist.

In the end, Cabrera’s was a tame shot, one that would have otherwise melted
into the box score had it not sealed the game. It was easily dwarfed by some
of the huge hits earlier in the evening that are quickly becoming a part of
the new ballpark’s most distinctive features.

A week had passed since the Yankees’ opening-week home run extravaganza, but
questions about how well the ball carries here rushed back after Mike Napoli’
s shot to right made a beeline over the fence to give the Angels a 1-0 lead
in the second. Johnny Damon golfed another ball into the second deck in right
field an inning later, providing echoes of last week’s 20-homer series
against the Indians.

Derek Jeter gave the Yankees their first lead in the bottom of the fourth
with some help from Abreu. With two runners on, Jeter lined what should have
been nothing more than a standard single to Abreu’s feet. But after the ball
caromed off his glove, Jeter scampered to second and two Yankees crossed the
plate to make the score 4-3.

The lead lasted all of a half-inning as Chone Figgins scored Erick Aybar in
the fifth.

With the score tied, both managers left their starters in, waiting to see
which one would crack first. Neither did, though the Angels replaced Anthony
Ortega in the seventh, preferring not to push their luck past 100 pitches.

A. J. Burnett, meanwhile, survived the seventh and went some of the way
toward banishing the five ugly innings he produced in Boston last weekend. He
still gave up the same number of hits (eight) as he did at Fenway Park,
although this time they turned into only four runs.

The Yankees turned to the extremely capable Phil Coke for the eighth and
rewarded him with the win. Justin Speier had to take the loss after he gifted
the Yankees — and the free-spending fans behind home plate — exactly what
they had come for.

Thursday night was the Yankees’ first home game since they slashed the
prices of some of the most expensive tickets in the ballpark. But at first
glance, the impact of that decision seemed minimal.

The full-season, front-row $2,500 tickets behind the dugouts, which were
reduced to $1,250, only appeared half-full in the middle of the game,
although the Yankees said sales had picked up.

The $2,500 front-row, season-ticket seats behind and on either side of home
plate, which were not reduced, were also far from full, suggesting the Yankees
’ strategy of offering those season-ticket holders an equal number of
front-row seats, for free, for the rest of the season, did not produce
immediate results. Fans who received those free tickets were allowed to use
them as they pleased, either giving them away or reselling them.

Those seats may be of greatest concern to the team, since they are the ones
showing up empty during games on television.

But the knock-on effect that the Yankees seem unable to avoid is that more of
these exclusive seats are cropping up at resale, according to Jason Berger, a
managing partner of one New York’s largest ticket resellers, AllShows.com.

“The Yankees’ season-ticket holders are more accustomed to resell them and
because of the inflated prices, they have more reason to this year,” he
said. “The Yankees have been a little too aggressive on their pricing, given
the economy.”

Berger even guessed that tickets could appear on the market below their face
value. And on Thursday night, he was right. Some tickets for the field level
behind home plate — the sections directly behind the Legends seats — were
selling for more than $200 below their $375 face value on FanSnap.com, which
scans 60 ticket resellers’ Web sites. FanSnap offered a further 5,000
tickets all over the stadium for Thursday’s game, beginning at $8.

Empty blue seats still dotted the place throughout the evening until the
bottom of the eighth, when, for a few moments, the cheering crowd rose to its
feet as the Yankees staged their game-winning rally. The seats, no matter how
much they had cost, all flapped shut just the same.
