“#Journeyman Ryan LaMarre gets walk-off hit in Yankees’ win<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Several hours before Ryan LaMarre would be called upon, he was already prepared for whatever would be asked of him. It was more than 90 minutes before first pitch, and the backup outfielder was ready, dressed and in game<\/a> mode.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Brett Gardner] was making fun of me because I had my jersey on at 5:30 [p.m.] today,\u201d LaMarre recalled.<\/p>\n

Six hours later, the journeyman with 235 career major league at-bats would finally get his chance, and he made the most of it.<\/p>\n

LaMarre\u2019s single over the head of right fielder Brad Miller scored Gary Sanchez with the game-winning run in the Yankees\u2019 wild 6-5, 10-inning victory over the Phillies in The Bronx.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot many people obviously get a chance to wear the uniform, let alone get a chance to come through and get a walk-off hit,\u201d he said. \u201cTo have moments like these you just try to soak them in and they keep you going honestly. \u2026 Any day up here is a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n

LaMarre\u2019s hit sent the Yankees to a fourth straight victory entering a monster seven-game road trip<\/a> against the Red Sox and Rays, and gave the 32-year-old a memory he won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n

He was swarmed by his giddy teammates, who exuberantly ripped apart his jersey. He tried to put it back on for his on-field interview. But that didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were no buttons to be found,\u201d LaMarre said after notching the second walk-off hit of his career. \u201cI don\u2019t know how they fix those or if they just get you a new one. I don\u2019t think that jersey\u2019s coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n
