Even in the turbulent seasons since their last world series win, there were a few names that were always there, holding the team together. One of them was Jorge Possada, who for the first time in his career ended up on the DL. He was part of the Yankee heart who’s reliable bat you could count on, his mind behind home plate was counted on and when he was injured so was the rest of the team.

In late July, Jorge was placed on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. A week later, he put the mask down for the season, he would have surgery and not be able to play for the rest of the season. However, before the final game at Yankee Stadium he did catch the ceremonial first pitch from the daughter of Babe Ruth, Julia Ruth Stephens. He’s expect to be back behind the plate this spring tranning.
