Yankees Pull Great Prank on Mariano

Mariano Rivera is back in Kansas City for the first time since he tore the ACL in his right knee shagging fly balls in the outfield a year ago.

To welcome him back, his teammates pulled a great prank on him as evidenced by the photo below from mlb.com.

Jeter, Cano, and Grandy Heading to KC

The announcements are out and Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson have been elected to start the 83rd All-Star game in Kansas City.

Jeter finished 2nd in voting (to Josh Hamilton) in the AL to earn his 13th All-Star game berth.  Cano made the All-Star team for the third straight year and fourth overall, while Granderson will be playing in his third game overall and his second as a Yankee.
