Home Runs Drive Postseason Success (Just Not This Year)

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Post Season, Yankees on October 27, 2012 | 1 Comment »

Before last night’s pivotal game three, Joe Girardi (perhaps with an assist from Brian Cashman?) decided to bench Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher, two players who have been stalwarts for him throughout his tenure as Yankee manager.

The Yankees reward for having the best record in the American League was home field advantage throughout the playoffs. However, what was once a blessing, seems to have turned into a curse.
