I didn't wet my pants because I was too stunned to do much of anything. The HR came out of nowhere.

Hank Steinbrenner waved the newspaper above his head with one hand, shrieking with the glee of a child showing her friends a new doll.
“Do you know how you spell Steinbrenner?” he asked general manager Brian Cashman, who was sitting across from him, on the other side of his 19th century oak desk with a dark green leather hide top. It was the only antique that Steinbrenner would allow in the new Yankee Stadium.
“Of course,” said Cashman “S-T-E-“
“No, Brian. It’s spelled G-E-N-I-U-S,” said Steinbrenner.
Steinbrenner threw the newspaper gingerly at Cashman.
“What’s the big deal with the newspaper? Since when do we care about the Trenton Times?” asked Cashman.
“Look at the sports pages,” barked Steinbrenner.
“You mean the story about the New Jersey Devils? You don’t own them, sir.” said Cashman, flipping the pages.
“No, No. The story about our Trenton Thunder minor league team,” said Steinbrenner, leaning forward.
“What about it?” asked Cashman.
For not the first time, Steinbrenner wondered if his general manager was a little thick and that maybe he had made the wrong decision to keep Cashman and get rid of manager Joe Torre.
“Read the story,” demanded Steinbrenner.
“It says Bryan Hurst hit a walk-off home run to win the game for Trenton. That’s nice,” said Cashman.
“Nice? No, that’s genius,” said Steinbrenner.
“I think it takes more athletic ability than brains to hit a home run, sir,” said Cashman, putting the newspaper on the desk.
“No, No. I am the genius. Don’t you see it? I am the one who wanted him signed to a contract to play at Double AA. You guys wanted to cut him,” said Steinbrenner.
“Sir, I don’t think he’s every going to make it to the majors. He’s really bad,” said Cashman.
“What do I care if he ever makes it to the majors. If he keeps hitting like this than we’re going to spread the word that he’s a superstar in waiting. A gold nugget that no one else found,” said Steinbrenner.
“Why would we do that, sir,” asked Cashman.
Steinbrenner sighed and leaned back in his chair, looked out at the empty ball park and looked at the World Series pennants flapping in the breeze. Why had his dad left him with such a bumbling fool for a general manager. Why couldn’t Cashman pull off a deal like the Boston Red Sox general manager? Steinbrenner was still furious the Boston Red Sox had been able to trade for Jason Bay in a three-way trade and get rid of their biggest problem, Manny Ramirez, in the same deal to Los Angeles. The Pittsburgh Pirates ended up with a bunch of no-name prospects.
“We’re going to need another ace pitcher before this season is over and we’re going to need some prospects to pull that off,” said Steinbrenner. "We’ve got to spread the news that we’ve got talent in the minors even if we have to do it with a lot of smoke and a lot of mirrors.”
“Who did you have in mind as the ace?” Cashman asked.
“Just a little pitcher called Roy Halladay,” said Steinbrenner.
“Roy Halladay,” said a shocked Cashman. “The Blue Jays will never trade him.”
“Toronto is losing money hand over fist. They can’t compete with the revenue we bring in. Come June and July when they’re under .500 and in a sea of red ink they’ll be looking to get his contract off the books because there is no way they can sign him to a long-term deal,” said Steinbrenner.
“They will be looking for prospects in return and we’ll throw in this Canadian kid, Hurst. They eat up that Canadian content junk up there. Look at the money they gave Corey Koskie.”
“You know what. That might just work, sir.” said Cashman.
“Don’t call me sir. It’s genius,” said Steinbrenner.
Steinbrenner looked out the window again. It won’t be long now before we add another World Series pennant, the first to my new palace. The thought made him smile. Just keep hitting Hurst. Keep hitting.

Lol that's probably what he's trying to do in real life. Are you gonna get traded to the Jays?
