The New York Yankees are playing baseball this year!
That’s right, folks. After weeks of negotiations, MLB finally just implemented a 60-game season. The Yankees will open the season on July 23 against the defending World Series champion Washington Nationals. Gerrit Cole will debut with his new team against three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer at Nationals Park. This certainly is a match for the ages.
But not every Yankees starter has been a future Hall of Famer, nor as big an impact player as Cole. In fact, some never even got the opportunity to make an Opening Day start in pinstripes.
