Thirty one years after the Beatles first landed in the United States, another famous quartet touched down for the first time in the summer of 1995. That year, under manager Buck Showalter, the Yankees won the inaugural American League wild card, and the core four all first put on their pinstripes.

Many people would have preferred the Bronx Bombers facing Texas, considering they ended the regular season by losing 9 of their last 13 games and choked up a 13 game lead in the AL West standings. I, however, am thrilled that the Pinstripes are playing Baltimore. Here are five reasons why I like the Yankees to be victorious in the ALDS not only because of who they are facing, but because of the players donning the Pinstripes this year.
Other than missing the playoffs in 2008, Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees have been to the postseason every single season since 1995. Through the years the venerable captain has been through all the wars, but none quite like this years.

Many professional athletes make millions of dollars, but many lose it in a heartbeat. How is this possible? Why does this happen?

This 2012 season has been one big farewell tour for Chipper Jones, arguably one of the greatest third baseman to ever play the game. At every ballpark he’s entered for the last time, he has received parting gifts and a huge standing ovation from fans. Even so in Flushing a few weeks back, despite nineteen years of tormenting the Mets and their fans.
Part of the mystique and respect surrounding the 40 year old is watching him at the same position and in the same uniform since he broke in the league as a youngster way back in 1993. His career is being celebrated throughout the big leagues not only because he is one of the greats of the game, but because he is someone who never left.
The guys hear from WFUV's Mack Rosenberg on the Yankees, plus talk about Ike Davis and the possibility of the Cardinals falling out of the 2nd NL Wild Card spot.
