NEW YORK (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama received a warm welcome from Yankees fans and a kiss from the captain before Game 1 of the World Series. Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden, wife of the vice president, escorted Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra to the mound for the pregame ceremony honoring the nation's veterans. Wearing a maroon World Series jacket, Mrs. Obama smiled as the crowd cheered Wednesday night. Mrs. Obama and Biden each got a peck from Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter on their way off the field, and the first lady high-fived a fan before disappearing into a Yankee Stadium tunnel.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.
