Jeter's Final At-Bat In Yankee Stadium

17 Jeter's Final At-Bat In Yankee Stadium Huffington Post

In his final game in the Bronx, Derek Jeter gave New York Yankees fans one final moment they'll always remember. With one out and a baserunner on second in the bottom of the ninth, Jeter took the first pitch he saw and lined a walk-off single to right field to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The 14-time All-Star was mobbed by teammates after he rounded first base as a sellout crowd of 48,613 fans went into a frenzy. "I want to thank everyone here. I've said it time and time again. Everybody is chanting 'Thank you, Derek.' And I'm thinking to myself, 'For what?' I'm just trying to do my job. Thank you guys," an uncharacteristically emotional Jeter said. "If I'm going to be honest with you, these last few weeks have gotten tougher and tougher. I've told you members of the media I didn't want to talk about it because I try not to think about it. But it was very, very difficult. But it was all worth while." Jeter, whose name was chanted by the home crowd seemingly throughout the entire game, drove in two RBIs earlier as well. The 40-year-old put his team on the board when he launched a double to left field with his first at-bat of the game, then scored to tie it at 2-2. In the seventh frame, Jeter drove in two more runs (only one earned) after O's shortstop J.J. Hardy made a throwing error on a softly hit ground ball. Watch his double below: Facing a 5-2 deficit in the ninth inning, the Orioles rallied back against Yankees closer David Robertson and tied the game thanks to a two-run homer from Adam Jones and then a solo shot from Steve Pearce. But the comeback just happened set the table for The Captain. Jeter told reporters after the game that he plans to play in the Yankees' final series of the season at Fenway Park, but also said his final home game was "probably" the last time he'll play shortstop too. “Yeah I’ll play in some capacity. To be quite honest with you, I think this is probably my last game at shortstop. I want to remember that view I had right out there today,” Jeter said, via The Boston Globe. “Out of respect to the Boston fans and the rivalry I will play in some capacity.” After hugging his current and former teammates, along with his former manager Joe Torre, Jeter walked toward the middle of the diamond to thank the Yankees fans one last time. Even the Orioles players stayed in the dugout and applauded him. Almost immediately after the dramatic and fitting finish, several players throughout Major League Baseball were quick to honor Jeter on Twitter.

25 U.S. Economy Grew 4.6 % Huffington Post

The U.S. economy grew at a rate of 4.6 percent in the second quarter, according to gross domestic product numbers released Friday morning by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. It represents the fastest rate of growth since the last three months of 2011 as companies increased investments and households spent more, Bloomberg reported. The figure, up from 2.5 percent growth in the same period last year, was revised up from a previous estimate of 4.2 percent in August. Spending on personal consumption increased 2.5 percent in the second quarter, up from 1.2 percent in the first. Durable goods, such as cars, homes and electronics jumped 14.1 percent, compared with an increase of 3.2 percent in the last quarter. Consumable goods, such as food and water, remained flat at 2.2 percent. The outlier was services -- such as gym memberships or daycare -- which increased 0.9 percent, down from 1.3 percent in the first quarter.

$60,000 Bottle of Water

26 $60,000 Bottle of Water Sogoodblog

Acqua di CristalloTributo a Modigliani Yes you did read correctly. This bottle of water costs $60,000. And at that price it is probably the most expensive bottle of drinking water in the world. Perhaps it’s sourced from the fountain of youth, you may think. Alas no, so why is it so pricey? Rather than the cradle of life, this expensive sipping water comes France and Fiji, but it is not really the water that drives up this ostensibly crazy price (although it does contain 5mg of gold dust). It’s all in the bottle really, which is designed by celebrated spirit bottle artisan Fernando Altamirano. Oh, and it’s also made from 24 karats of solid gold. There are also silver and crystal varieties available at a mere $3,600. It’s enough to make you need a drink.
