For those of you in the New York area interested in seeing your baseball heroes up close:

The parade, scheduled for Friday will begin on Broadway at Battery Place at 11 a.m. and continue northbound up the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall Plaza where Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the Bronx Bombers with the keys to the city.

Most of the players will cruise the parade route in convertables, while Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui will take turns mounting The Centaur and galloping down Broadway.
