The loudest cheers were for Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, who will return Sunday for the dedication of Riveras plaque in Monument Park. Core Four members Posada and Andy Pettitte also drew big ovations from the crowd of 41,862, as did Bernie Williams.Even though its been 20 years, were in the back waiting to come on the field, people are joking around and laughing.

The Supreme Court has accepted most of the Lodha Committee recommendations covering wide-ranging aspects of the game in India, with special focus on the BCCIs administrative and governance structures and the issue of transparency. The court has given the BCCI six months to implement the recommendations and appointed RM Lodha, the former chief justice of India who was the architect of the report, to oversee the transition.The order was delivered by the two-judge bench comprising TS Thakur, chief justice of India, and Justice Ibrahim Kalifulla, which has been hearing the case since January this year.The BCCI counsel KK Venugopal told the court that his client will show greatest respect in implementing the judgment. BCCI president Anurag Thakur offered no comment because he said he wanted to study the order first. Rajeev Shukla, the IPL chairman, said the BCCI would respect the judgement and discuss the procedure for implementation in the next meeting. Since it is the apex court of the country (and) if they have endorsed the recommendations of the Lodha panel then obviously you respect the court. We will definitely discuss all those issues, how it can be implemented.Reacting to the court order, Lodha said he hoped it would be a positive influence on the game. Great day for Indian cricket and Indian sport, think cricket fans should rejoice the verdict of SC, he told ANI.The most important set of recommendations announced by the Lodha Committee in January this year were aimed at transforming the entire power structure in the board. It sought to change the BCCIs electorate to one association per state - some states have three - and removed the vote from associations without territorial definitions (e.g., Railways and Services).It suggested clear and stringent eligibility criteria for the boards office-bearers and set limits to their time in office. Ministers and bureaucrats currently holding office were not to be allowed to hold positions on the board, nor would those holdiing positions in their state associations or those above 70 years of age.dddddddddddd That could rule out a host of current office-bearers.The Lodha Committee had recommended there be five elected office-bearers - president, secretary, one vice-president instead of the current five, treasurer and joint secretary - and they would serve a maximum of three terms of nine years each across positions. Also, they would not be able to serve two consecutive terms - each must be broken by a cooling-off period. The presidents powers were also curbed by the recommendations: he no longer has an additional vote at meetings, nor does he have a say in team selection.The Lodhas report had also recommended that the Working Committee, the BCCIs highest decision-making body, be replaced with a nine-member Apex Council, which will include representatives from the players community - including one woman. There would also be a nominee of the Comptroller and Auditor General, presumably to keep an eye on how the boards vast resources were being utilised.There was also a big push for transparency, with the recommended appointment of three independent officials - an ombudsman, which the BCCI has already appointed, an ethics officer and an election officer - to look into the three contentious areas within the BCCI: conflict of interest, dispute resolution and election processes. It also set high eligibility criteria for each, to ensure their independence.The panel - comprising Lodha and retired Supreme Court judges, Ashok Bhan and R Raveendran - had been formed in January 2015 to determine appropriate punishments for Raj Kundra, Gurunath Meiyappan and their respective franchises; decide on Ramans role in the IPL 2013 scandal, and propose changes to the BCCIs functioning to streamline its functions and prevent sporting fraud and conflict of interest.More to follow ...
