DATE IN YANKEE HISTORY/August 15, 1961: Although he had already reached his 20th win of the season, Whitey Ford lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to the Chisox and Juan Pizarro by a score of 2-1 before 49,059 paying customers at Yankee Stadium. Amazingly, Ford nailed down #20 by August 10 that year.

I was thinking back this afternoon as I watched the Yankees win there second game in what seems like a month. I was thinking about that team in 96, thinking about the lineup, the rotation and the pen. I don't remember it containing any superstars, do you? I mean this was the New York Yankees, yet with Mattingly having retired, Henderson playing elsewhere, and Winfield long gone, who was the "big name, big time" bat in the lineup? Tartabull? Nope, Barfield? please.

team was equally solid--Elston Howard behind the dish, Yogi Berra in one of his last, best seasons, Whitey Ford and Ralph Terry twirling brilliant seasons on the mound. But dig a little deeper and you get to the infield. Can you name them?
