ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Joe Torre, Tommy Lasorda and Jim Leyland were among the many friends and family members at Tropicana Field on Saturday to celebrate the life of longtime baseball man Don Zimmer. The tribute was held before the Tampa Bay Rays played Seattle. Zimmer, a senior adviser for the Rays, died Wednesday at 83 in a hospital in nearby Dunedin. Both teams wore Zimmers No. 23 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey as they lined up along the foul lines. Fans stood and cheered at the end of a video tribute. There is no funeral or other memorial service planned. More than 20 family members, including Zimmers wife "Soot" -- they were married at home plate during a minor league game in 1951 -- also attended. "A great life," Soot Zimmer said. "No regrets." Son Tom Zimmer, a scout with the San Francisco Giants, caught the ceremonial first pitch thrown by granddaughter Whitney Goldstein. Torre says Zimmer was "one of a kind" and "an institution." Zimmer was Torres bench coach for four World Series championships with the Yankees. "His loss creates a void in my life," Torre said. "I hired a coach who became a family member, basically. I think baseball is just going to miss the presence of him. He was a big teddy bear, theres no question about it." Zimmer spent 66 years in baseball as a player, manager, coach and executive. "I just hope that people remember what a great baseball man this guy was," Leyland said. "He was a character, but he wasnt somebody that you laughed at when you understood how much this guy knew about baseball. His passion for the game and his passion for people." "Its kind of an ironic day," he said. "Todays the day of the Belmont, as you know, and everybody knows how he liked horses. Family came first, baseball second, horses third. So, family is here today, were going to have a ballgame and the Belmont is today." Zimmer convinced Torre not to make ties mandatory when the Yankees travelled. Torre, who wore a tie Saturday with horses on it, removed it when the subject came up during the ceremony. Yankees star Derek Jeter made a video statement. So did Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose first big league manager was Zimmer with the Chicago Cubs. "He made an impact like no else has," Texas Rangers senior adviser Tom Giordano said. The ceremony ended with "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" played on a bagpipe. "Perfect," Tom Zimmer said. "Emotional." Adidas Nmd Dámské Cerne . Dwyane Wade took over in the fourth quarter.

After the tentative deal was reached Saturday night, several players posted messages of frustration and disappointment on social media - and that carried over into Sunday on both the web and the field.Williams and Force India became the first Formula One teams to take the covers off their cars for 2015, revealing Wednesday the most significant design change from last season: a new front.Technical regulations in F1 have been remained stable except for the requirement to change the nose of the cars, which will make them more pleasing on the eye this season.It is a redesign that involved a lot of work over the winter, Force India technical director Andrew Green said at the teams launch in Mexico — the home country of one of its drivers, Sergio Perez. The new regulations caused a loss in terms of downforce and weve been working to claw back all that performance.Williams chief technical officer Pat Symonds said the change in regulations offered us a slight headache, adding: The new front bulkhead and nose geometry had much more of an impact than we had initially anticipated, and the effect on the aero was profound.Williams had thee worst campaign in its history in 2013 — scoring just five points — but fought back last year under drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa to place third behind champion Mercedes and Red Bull in the constructors championship.dddddddddddd That was Williams highest finish since 2003.I hope as a team we are more capable of maintaining the forward momentum to catch Mercedes, than the teams behind us are of catching us, Symonds said.Force Indias new car, which will be driven by Perez and Nico Hulkenberg, has different livery — black and silver, with streaks of orange.Weve added silver, team principal Vijay Mallya said, because I think it makes it look more mean, more hungry.Force India scored a team-record 155 points last season and was sixth in constructors standings.Weve a really solid foundation, said Hulkenberg, who outscored Perez 96 points to 59. Im now looking forward to us improving, taking the next step. ' ' '
