On July 14, 2024, Ben Rice, in his 24th game, hit a go-ahead home run against the Orioles, a defining moment for a young player. That signature moment was erased by defensive errors that led to a tough loss.

Derek Jeter's absence from the 25th anniversary of the 2000 World Series championship has left fans frustrated and questioning his loyalty to his teammates and legacy.

The goal of the game is to guess the correct Yankees player with the help of up to five clues. We'll mix in BOTH ACTIVE AND RETIRED PLAYERS this week.

Facing Francisco Lindor, Carlos Rodón began with a back-foot slider that misled the hitter from anticipating a fastball, leading to a foul tip.

After posting a 0.90 ERA through his first 50 Triple-A innings, Allan Winans finally got the call on June 23rd to start against the Cincinnati Reds. The results were disappointing, as he allowed seven runs (six earned) in 6.1 innings before getting sent back down on the Scranton Shuttle. Yet, Winans picked up right where he left off at Triple-A, recording his eighth and ninth consecutive wins for the RailRiders, proving he remains the next man up should a need arise.

Baseball became my passion after the 2009 Yankees' victory, providing an emotional high and a new path of deeper fandom, beyond fitting in with friends.

Kohn has just a 4.36 ERA over 109.1 innings the last two seasons, and missed the 2023 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but clearly showed enough tools to impress the Yankees.
