\n Gerrit Cole earned his Yankees fan bona fides in 2001. Did he just prove his pinstrip<\/a>ed mettle on Sept. 11?<\/p>\n

Sure, sure, true Yankees moments, especially for a player who received a $324 million commitment, must come in October. Nevertheless, this one felt quite big for the Yankees\u2019 first-year ace, and profound too.<\/p>\n

In throwing a two-hit shutout Friday afternoon in The Bronx, mowing down the Orioles, 6-0, to open a doubleheader sweep \u2014 Masahiro Tanaka (five innings, one run) prevailed in the nightcap, 10-1 \u2014 Cole halted a personal three-start losing streak and kicked off this surprisingly critical weekend on a great note, striking out nine while walking one and permitting just a pair of singles; his no-hitter ended with two outs in the fifth. The Yankees (24-21) now have put 3 \u00bd game<\/a>s between themselves and the O\u2019s and the Tigers (20-24) in the race for the American League\u2019s final postseason spot, and thanks to a Mets rout of the Blue Jays in Buffalo, they trail second-place Toronto (24-20) by just half a game in the AL East.<\/p>\n

As they move further away from crisis mode, the Yankees can start envisioning a playoff rotation headed by Cole pitching as he did Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to see him go out and absolutely dominate a game from beginning to end,\u201d Aaron Boone said.<\/p>\n

This goes down as easily Cole\u2019s biggest start as a Yankee so far, and he pulled it off wearing a cap not with his employer\u2019s iconic interlocking NY, but rather with the New York Police Department\u2019s insignia as the Yankees \u2014 sporting NYPD and Fire Department of New York caps as well as 9\/11 patches on their uniform tops \u2014 honored those we lost on Sept. 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody remembers that day,\u201d said Cole, who was 11 at the time. \u201cMy mom woke me up, me and my sister, before school, and before she took us downstairs she talked to us \u2014 both of my parents talked to us for a minute \u2014 about what we were about to see, and it\u2019s just a really sad day. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo hopefully we honor the people that passed away that day. We honor the people that worked to save lives in the NYPD and the FDNY. This is a very somber day, but hopefully we were able to provide some joy for the people that are having a rough day today in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less than two months after that horribly historic day, the Cole family traveled from its Southern California home to Phoenix to watch the Yankees take on the Diamondbacks in the World Series<\/a> at Bank One Ballpark. Young Gerrit got some pub holding his \u201cYANKEE FAN TODAY TOMORROW FOREVER\u201d sign in the outfield. Cole brought that sign out of hiding, 18-plus years old and discolored, last December at his Yankee Stadium introductory news<\/a> conference, captivating social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the right-hander, delayed and devalued by the pandemic shutdown\u2014_ that contract now is worth $301.3 million \u2014 didn\u2019t embarrass himself in the early going of his maiden voyage here, he didn\u2019t distinguish himself as the Yankees dreamed, either; the last game of his losing streak began in spectacular fashion, with five innings of shutout, nine-strikeout ball against the Orioles in Baltimore, only to unravel with a five-run sixth to continue a grotesque, 5-15 stretch for the club that put the Yankees\u2019 playoff qualification in peril.<\/p>\n

On Friday, therefore, Cole, deploying an improved curveball, pulled his weight while pushing the Orioles further away. The doubleheader, he noted, would allow him to wear an FDNY cap (the players chose between FDNY and NYPD) as he watched Game 2 from the dugout. \u201cI wasn\u2019t going to switch hats out during the game,\u201d the creature of habit said, \u201cbut I did want to wear both.\u201d <\/p>\n

Cole did fine work all around on this always meaningful anniversary. If he can keep going like this on the mound, he might just inspire some youngster in Southern California, where the American League Championship Series likely will be held, to become a Yankees fan today, tomorrow and forever.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
