Fun Fact for Yankees Fans
I was gamedaying the Yankees/Mariners game today and looked through the lineups to see who was playing. I looked at 3rd base, saw the name "Green," then realized that something was seriously wrong when the reigning MVP is being replaced by a .145 hitter (who has raised his average significantly today after being 2-2 through the 5th).
Looking at the rest of the lineup, I realized these few fun facts:
Two of nine players starting for the Yankees were on the opening day lineup at the position they were playing: Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon. The two players in the game (Giambi DH, Bernie Williams RF) who were also on the opening day lineup, started the season at different positions (1B, DH). Sidney Ponson also started the game, and gave up a quick 3-run homer to Richie Sexson. What's more impressive is that the Yankees are a season-best 13 games over .500, even without the majority of their starting lineup.
Looks like Brian Cashman needs to start spending fast. Bobby Abreu anyone?
