There have been plenty of great Yankee arms in team history. Andy Pettitte recently passed the great Whitey Ford for all-time strikeouts. Toss-in Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing. There really is an argument for each one. Most favor "The Chairman of the Board," Whitey Ford...
How many times throughout his career has Andy Pettitte saved the Yanks in his long and illustrious career? Yeah countless is the answer. The lefthander did it again on Monday night and in the process set a new Yankee record for strikeouts...
The Yanks and Twins play four in Minnesota, capped by an afternoon game on our nation's birthday. The Yanks are horrendous right now, getting swept in Baltimore and having lost five straight.

The Yankees took game one of a four-game set in Seattle 6-1 behind a six-run third inning that saw back-to-back home runs from Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira and a solid performance from Phil Hughes, who seems to give up less home runs on the road for some reason. Hughes is now 4-0 with a 0.82 ERA all-time at Safeco Field. Let's have a look at the rest of the series.
No one will ever forget the postseason wins, the bulldog mentality, the cap set down just above the eyebrows as the cutter dives in on righties and away from lefties. No one will forget saving the bacon in the Bronx time after time after time, nor will they forget outdueling John Smoltz in the 1996 World Series.
