Jete....since you want to be a sports journalist.....tell us about it! How did it go?

It was such an exciting day for Alex and the rest of his Yankee family. On August 13th, Alex was rewarded for hitting the legandary 500th homerun, with his wife Cythina and daughter Natashia by his side. During the ceremony, which took place before the game, Alex was presented with two self-potraits and a sculpture that including actual baseball bats and balls. Not only did he get some works of art, but Derek Jeter had that pleasure of presenting Alex with a silver platter with his major accomplishment engraved into it. Joe Torre also gave Alex the homeplate from that day.
