That was the beginning of my "Yankee Era". While some remember Reggie and Guidry or Mantle and Maris, Yogi and Whitey or Dimaggio, Gehrig and Ruth I remember Charlie Hays, a free agent signing, but in my mind a Yankee nonetheless. I guess what I'm trying to say is these guys are all Yankees in my mind, they may have come from other teams but what they had, the work ethic or the desire, whatever it was, they had "IT". We won titles with guys named Sojo and Brosius, Spencer and Ledee. Behind the pitching of Wells, "el Duce" and Stanton.

And if he doesnt get a hit, we fans can live with it: ITS DEREK JETER NOT MELKY CABRERA. Girardi was willing to bunt in the top of 1st with a man on 2b and no one out, with a lefty up, needing to just hit a groundball to 2b. I am fine with this choice but be consistent.
