#39---NYA @ CLE, 7/9/2003


In honor of CC Sabathia's (seemingly) impending move to pinstripes, here is a game he lost to the Yankees in 2003. Three walks, an infield hit, and an error enabled New York to score three in the first, and that was all they would need, as David Wells continued what seemed to be his mastery of the Indians.

Batting ninth at third base for Cleveland was Jhonny Peralta. With talk that he could move to third if the Indians acquire a middle infielder, it is interesting to be reminded that yes, he has played third base before. When he played third in a September game this season, I had no recall of his time at third in '03. But here it is, ony my own scoresheet. If I didn't trust the record books, I'd have to trust that. Memory is nice, but inadequate.
