It turns out trotting Chris Young out in Yankee Stadium didn't work out that well.
Entering action tonight, the New York Yankees were a woeful seven games under .500 and firmly entrenched in last place in the otherwise competitive American League East. As a team they had totaled a scant 25 home runs with only the World Champion Kansas City Royals, Dodgers, and hilarious Braves (7?!) amassing fewer home runs.
The game was at Yankee Stadium.
By the end of the third inning, the Yankees had ten teams below them on the team home run leader board.
