Don't mess with granny! Don't they teach kids this lesson today?
Story:
The Yankees have honored a robber-bashing Bronxville grandmother of eight yesterday in a home plate ceremony.
The 68-year-old woman foiled an April 26 robbery at a sandwich shoppe in Tuckahoe where she worked by smacking the robber with a 1961 Yankees miniature bat.
With her 16-inch weapon in hand, she waved to the stadium crowd when she was introduced yesterday, then got a surprise when Derek Jeter came out of the dugout and presented her with a real bat signed by the team and gave her a hug.
During the attempted robbery last month, the man told the woman he had a gun, and demanded she empty the cash register. The lifelong Yankees fan said she threw the money on the floor, then as he was bending over to pick it up, grabbed her commemorative bat and hit him in the back of the head twice. He dropped the money and ran out of the store.
