The day Baseball Changed Forever

[twinsGM]

It was June 27th, 2010. The Mets were taking the field for Batting Practice on the turf of the new Yankee Stadium. Just as the batting cage was being set up, Michael Mutinski was taking his seat 5 rows back from first base, the seat he has had for 3 months now, for every home game of the Yankees. He sat intently for two hours, staring out at the field he has seen dozens of times from that exact spot. He really wasn't a baseball fan. The reason he had came to these games was very different then that of most people there, and they were all about to find out what that reason was. Once the game had started, Joba Chamberlain had got the Mets 1-2-3 in the first, with two strikeouts. Melky Cabrera came up in the first, and roped a liner to center, which was caught by Carlos Beltran, as Michael walked up to the Upper Deck. He say a man in the front row, one he was sure was by himself.
"Excuse me sir, would you like to switch tickets with me? I got this from a friend, but I'd rather sit up here to get a better view." Michael said.
"Of course! Thank you, very much!" The man said.

As Michael took his new seat, he sat his duffel bag at his feet, the bag that would change the baseball world forever.

Once Derek Jeter doubled down the left field line, and Alex Rodriguez stepped to the plate, it was time for his plan to be put into affect. He reached down into the blue workout bag and unzipped the secret compartment. In his hands were two small round objects, Jet black. Michael popped off the small hooks one at a time, and threw the first one near home plate, the second one right after, near second base. The exploded upon impact, covering the field in black smoke, causing complete chaos. Fans ran in every direction, screaming, but being held back back by police officers. The police were very nervous as well, but acting calm. Once the call was sent into the main station, dozens of squad cars rushed tot he stadium. The PA announced "Everyone please remain calm. The Police will handle this situation, everyone please cooperate."
Many other officials in orange and yellow jackets that read SECURITY crowded the section of Michael, and easily found him, the only guy still sitting in his seat. He was looking at the field as if nothing had happened.


"Excuse me sir. Did you throw those bombs?"
"Yep, I did. What's it to ya?" Michael said in his southern accent.


He was taken away in one of those swat team vans, just as two fire engines were pulling onto the field through the tunnel. The smoke was cleared in minutes, while all the fans were being evacuated. Originally, the chief of Police had ordered all officers to get fans into bomb shelters, mainly the bathrooms. Now a call was being sent out through the radio: "All officers inside get fans out of the stadium. Officers outside DO NOT let anyone leave. Do not let anyone go back into the seats NO MATTER WHAT!"

The emergency workers, meanwhile, had the field cleared. At home plate, Alex Rodriguez was lying soundless. Derek Jeter was the same 10 feet from second base, and, as it turned out, 29 other players from the Mets and Yankees, plus 7 coaches. The Survivors were found in the Clubhouse, crouched behind desks and in bathroom stalls. They were led out of the stadium and back to their cars. In the mean time outside, there were thousands of very frightened people shouting at officials for information and help. To make it worse, fire fighters were holding back hundreds of reporters and photographers. After hours of questioning fans, they were let go, and the next day, the stadium and all the streets around it were closed off, and 106 people were announced dead, including the 37 players and coaches.

June 28th, 2010:

MLB Halts Action

MLB commissioner Bud Selig announced just hours after the incident at Yankee Stadium that the MLB will stop games for at least a week, maybe more depending on what is decided at MLB meetings today.

June 29th, 2010:

Selig Found Dead

An assistant of Selig's went into his office to relay some information from a phone call when she found the commissioner dead on the floor. Police and medics were rushed tot he scene, and a bullet was found in his throat. Investigators also found a note on the desk that said
"The MLB will go down. -Gestenate"

Police believe "Gestenate" is the name of a conspiracy group, who planned the Yankee Stadium Bombing.
All MLB players were flown back to their hometowns, and all MLB executives and team executives were put under 24-hour security watch, and moved to undisclosed locations across North America. All Major League Stadiums were also put under watch, with no one allowed within 2 blocks of any stadium without a security check.

Epstein named new commissioner

MLB Owners named Theo Epstein the new commissioner of Baseball, via a conference call. Epstein is now the youngest man to become commissioner of baseball, as well as the youngest to be a GM. The owners picked him because of his baseball knowledge, education and youthful new ideas. The new GM of the Boston Red Sox is undecided, but David Ortiz was quoted saying, "We don't need a GM. We already a Goo' enough team, we jus' need maybe one free agent signing a season, and anyone could do that."

Epstein said he will "First meet with the owners and decide how to protect the game, it's properties and players and executives."

In other MLB news, Michael Mutinski was prosecuted in federal court today, and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, but will be questioned by authorities about Gestenate.

Gestenate Busted


In a press conference today, FBI spokesperson Amanda Shelton announced that Gestenate was found, after hours of questioning of Michael Mutinski. A swat team unit surrounded a small house in Manhattan and found five men inside. Once arrested and taken tot he nearest Police Station, they were all identified as Gestenate members and trial dates were set for July 4th.

Theo Epstein then held a press conference two hours later and announced there will be one game in 5 days on July 5th to honor all that died in the June 27th game at Yankee Stadium. The game will be an exhibition between the Red Sox and Phillies. It has not been decided yet when the MLB will resume play for the season.

An hour later, Epstein hosted a show on ESPN, letting people call in to talk or ask him a question. Most callers were very upset, and lost their faith in baseball, and even other pro sports, though most were not Yankee or Mets fans. Within the day, many calls to the commissioner office were being taken, so many in fact, that thousands of people were on hold at some times. Most people were very upset, and got even angrier when the phone operators explained it wasn't the MLB's fault. Theo Epstein then announced another press conference will be held on July 1st, at 1:0 PM eastern time.

Phillies-Red Sox game a disaster


Only 15 fans showed up for the exhibition game that honored all that died during the June 27th game at Yankee Stadium. The game was originally going to be televised on SNY, but after the ceremony featuring military members and family members of those who died, a banner was placed beyond the centerfield wall with the names of those who died, and Theo Epstein walked onto the field. Once he was at the microphone by Home Plate, he took a pause and said, "This game has been cancelled, because of my earlier decision. I set this game too early, and no one is yet ready to play again. Thank you all for coming folks, have a nice day."

Gestenate Members sentenced

Members of Gestenate were sentenced to 30 years of jail each for conspiracy and murder. The trial was delayed one day due to one member of the group being passed out as he was banging his head against the metal wall of his holding cell.

While being questioned during the trial, Authorities found out that the group was planning to destroy Fenway Park after many questions trying to find out what plans they had to destroy baseball. They planned on getting some guys on a roof a few blocks from Fenway Park, who would shoot down the security guards outside of the stadium. Then other members would rush down the block, break through the gate and throw about a dozen bombs all over the park. Gestenate also said they had two others who were part of the group, either in New York, Cooperstown or Baltimore. Once MLB lawyer's asked about their names or where they actually were, all Gestenate members pleaded the 5th and said they were guilty on all counts they were accused of, and were promptly taken away by Court Security, who also held back very angry MLB lawyer Dean Gestan, who ended up popping a blood vessel while yelling at the convicts.
