Yankees officials presented Tom Hicks to members of the local print media today as their new center fielder.
The deal, worth $101,175,000, guarantees the 29-year-old a home in New York for 5 years. It should improve the ballclub, assuming he plays to his potential.
In 734 career games Hicks has batted .315 with 912 hits with 189 doubles, 37 triples and 13 home runs. He has also collected 266 RBIs and scored 359 runs.
