Posted by: Patrick
Torre Happy for Yankees: Speaking from his annual Safe at Home Foundation gala, Joe Torre told the Post that he was "real pleased" for the Yankees and their World Series victory. Mariano Rivera was honored at the gala.
Jeter Collects $100,000 Check for Charity: Before the season, Derek Jeter and David Wright of the Mets agreed to a charity challenge of sorts: Delta would give $100,000 to the charity of the player who had the higher batting average. Jeter hit .334 and Wright hit .307, so the big check goes to the Captain, reports MLB.com's Tom Britton. But, Delta also presented a $50,000 check to Wright's charity, too.
Martin on the Veterans Committee Ballot: Finally, the AP reports that Billy Martin will be included on the 10 person manager and umpire ballot that the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee will consider for election into Baseball's Hall of Fame. The voting results will be announced on December 7.
