Jerry Hairston attending the World Series ring ceremony yesterday at Yankee Stadium. At least he wasn't wearing a Yankee cap.

Sounds like a warm reception for Hairston...

When Jorge Posada spotted Hairston in front of the dugout, he shook his head and asked why he was there.

"I flew here," Hairston said.

"Why?" Posada asked.

I interpreted that differently

I think it is just pointing out that Posada has won several rings, and didn’t realize how big a deal it is to someone such as Hairston to attend the ceremony. I don’t know what his schedule is, but Damon didn’t show up.
Hairston really wanted to be there.

Yeah, that's brutal.

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of that.

It does look weird with him being the only guy out of uniform

Should’ve worn his road jersey.

At first I thought

he was some guy from the FO who got a ring.

I wonder if there is a rule about wearing a uniform on a field where your team is not playing.

I'd feel weird getting a ring in that context.

He was traded to the Yankees at the deadline and had fewer than 100 PAs for them. I guess I’d feel like I hadn’t earned it.
