The Angel's centerfielder, Torii Hunter, and Yankee's catcher, Ivan Rodriguez were both kicked out of Monday night's game. Everyone who watches baseball knows what a disappointing season the Yankees have had and on Monday night it shows that this disappointment has finally caught up to them. It was the sixth inning of the game when Angel's centerfielder, Torii Hunter was caught in a rundown between third base and home plate. The ball was being thrown back and forth a couple of time between Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, and catcher Ivan Rodriguez, trying to tag out Torii Hunter who was attempting to score on a ball he should not have ran on. Hunter finally gave himself up and continued running to home. Ivan Rodriguez tagged him out, but while tagging him out, gave him a little elbow to the back. It seemed like nothing harmful, but Hunter took exception. Rodriguez, after tagging him out, walked out to the pitchers mound to hand the ball back the the Yankees pitcher at the time, Dan Giese. No one thought anything of this little elbow given to Hunter, but before you know it, Hunter was behind Rodriguez and shoved him in the back. Rodriguez then turned around, and that is when the benches proceeded to clear. Rodriguez turned towards Hunter and tried to hit him with a round house slap right to the face, but missed. The two players were restrained by their teammates and thrown out of the game. The final score of this game was 12-1 in favor of the Angel's. This showed the Yankees frustration of their long and under achieving season, because everyone knows that the Yankees organization is one of the classier franchises in sports, and they usually never fight. The two were both suspended two games for their actions, and hopefully have learned their lessons.

No one rule of journalism: spell things correctly. It’s “Hunter” with one n. You also have a dead photo link at the bottom. Watch your style. Its “Angels’ centerfielder” and the s doesn’t get detached ,like you have at the bottom of your story. It was a good topic, but since you are a Yankee fan, give me some of your thoughts. I, too, am a Yankee fan, and thought it was disgusting that they gave up on a game in which they had a brawl. Usually brawls spark teams, in this case they were dead on arrival. Give me some more of your opinion.
and that should say "No. 1. rule."
Julia I think this was very well written. You really gave the reader a detailed play-by-play incase they didn't see the actual game. If I was a Yankee fan, I would definitely read your blog on a weekly basis. Your passion for the sport and team really shined through in your writing. Good Job!
