Of course, the setting was just a tad different. Yankee Stadium had nearly emptied out tonight and the outcome had been long decided when the bullpen gates opened with one out in the ninth inning. But Garrison fought his own nerves in his big league debut to record the final two outs of the Yankees' 10-3 victory against the Seattle Mariners."
