Team Report

DH Hideki Matsui wanted to play in the final game at Yankee 
Stadium so he put off left knee surgery.  Now that the game is 
over, he will have the surgery, which is expected to be similar 
to the procedure done on his right knee in the offseason. ... In
each of the final games at Yankee Stadium, a catcher has hit the
final home run.  In 1973 it was Detroit's Duke Sims and Sunday 
it was Jose Molina, who recorded his third three-hit game of the
season.  ... Not only did the Yankees announce an attendance for
this game, they also announced that 151,959,005 fans had passed 
through the doors since the stadium opened in 1923. ... LHP Andy
Pettittee snapped a career-high five-game losing streak and also
reached his 2,000th career strikeout when he fanned Ramon 
Hernandez.
