How did a busy trade deadline affect Tuesday's Top 10? Take a look.
On August 2nd, 1979 Jorge Posada was two weeks shy of his 8th birthday and I'm guessing had not a clue who Thurman Munson was. But today, exactly 32 years since the tragic death of the Yankee Captain, Posada shares a bond with Munson.
Derek Jeter nicked the top of his right middle finger fielding a grounder the other day, and kept playing. The All-Star shortstop got hit on the same finger by a pitch on Sunday, and that forced him from the game.
CC Sabathia pitched eight strong innings to earn his major league-best 16th win and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Monday for their fourth consecutive victory.
As good as Jimenez has been, he is not being traded at the same level that Johan Santana and CC Sabathia were a few years ago. Remember—the Yankees twice traded for Javier Vazquez off the best year of his career, and he didn't become what they had hoped either time.
The Yankees general manager decided he liked the hand he held and passed on the chance to add to New York's roster Sunday at the July 31 deadline for trades without waivers.
Freddy Garcia (10-7) struck out six in six innings and allowed two runs on five hits to send the Yankees 22 games over .500, their highest point of the season.
Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher and the New York Yankees broke loose for 12 runs in the first inning Saturday night, setting a franchise record en route to a 17-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles that completed a painfully embarrassing sweep of their split doubleheader.
Nick Swisher had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the New York Yankees backed Bartolo Colon with plenty of production from the bottom of their lineup to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-3 Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Jeremy Guthrie shut down the New York Yankees for seven innings, perhaps driving up his price in a trade, and the Baltimore Orioles got homers from Mark Reynolds and Derrek Lee in a 4-2 victory Friday night.
With his trial abruptly cut short, former baseball star Roger Clemens argued Friday that prosecutors intentionally goaded him into asking for a mistrial and asked a judge to throw out his indictment on charges of lying to Congress.
At 18-months-old John Lahutsky was declared incurable with cerebral palsy and didn't see the outside of a Russian orphanage for years.
It's not surprising that Jeter's journey to 3,000 hits was made into a TV special since it seemed scripted to be fiction rather than non-fiction. Here are five parts of the hour-long special that interested me the most.
Derek Jeter has tied Babe Ruth as the greatest Yankee of all time among New York City baseball fans. For that, No. 2 can thank the female fan for voting for him in droves.
How does this year's Phillies team stack up against the 1998 Yankees? Hint: It all comes down to pitching.
