On Friday, October 17, just hours after New York Yankees third baseman Aaron Boone hit a game-winning, series-ending home run in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 7 of the ALCS, Yankees Manager and Lifetime Member of the ASA Joe Torre spoke at a rally held in City Hall Park in New York to wish the Bomber good luck in the World Series.

Those in attendance included New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Yankees radio announcer John Sterling, Yankees GM Brian Cashman, ASA President Lou Schwartz, and the hero of the ALCS, Aaron Boone.
