The Chicago Cubs were the first team to wear pinstriped uniforms.

I don't remember the entire history, but I once heard it was to cover up Ruth's bulging girth. I'm unsure if that's accurate, but I heard it somewhere.Originally posted by YankeeMan

I'll need to research my history, since this was on some radio commercial I think. In 1915, Ruth was pitching up north. He'd been bought from the Baltimore minor league farm team.Please read Baseball Fever Policy and Forum FAQ before posting. 2007-11 CBA

Yankee history
No problem -- whenever you have a YANKEE HISTORY question, just ask. I know most of it by heart and the rest I can look up in one of several books.Originally posted by Mattingly I'll need to research my history...WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Re: Playoff history
What's the playoff records of the teams who came from within a game of elimination to win a series? Who, when and how far did they go?Originally posted by YankeeMan

No doubt in my mind...
...Yanks and the Red Sox have the best rivalry.
And can someone puleeeze tell Manny Ramirez that he's just NOT that special? After he hit that 3-run HR in last night's Game 5 with the A's, his little "I'm-da-man" stroll up the first base line (a la Barry Bonds and others) made me sick. Raul Mondesi tried that once or twice when he played for the Yanks and Torre told him to knock if off. So did Soriano a couple of times and Captain Derek set him straight. I can't think of anything more disrespectful to an opposing team and its pitcher.
And then Derek Lowe had to go and make obscene gestures toward the A's dugout.
Here was a perfect opportunity to show baseball fans that the Red Sox are not the arrogant, pampered divas that everyone thinks their rivals the Yankees are, and they BLEW IT with their unsportsmanlike attitude in my opinion.
I can't wait for the ALCS to start. If somehow my beloved Yanks get knocked out by the classless Red Sox, I'm gonna root for the National League!Comment

Re: Re: Playoff history
Without checking (wouldn't know where to check, really), the Yanks were down 0-2 in Oakland back in the 2001 ALDS, but went to game 7 in the WS that year.Originally posted by KenFougere

Re: Re: Playoff history
If you're talking about every team that played an elimination game that list would be very long. If you're talking about being down 0-2 that list would be somewhat shorter.Originally posted by KenFougere

Re: Re: Re: Playoff history
And the last time Boston was down 0-2 back in the 1999 ALDS they went on to lose to the Yanks in five. History is a funny thing isn't it?Originally posted by Mattingly
