After the 1998 Yankees dropped the season opener on April 1st, they got right back into the saddle on the 2nd. No off-day after Opening Day. No sir. The good news: Boomer Wells was getting the ball for New York as they tried to even the series.
When first pitch arrived at 7:05 on the west coast, nearly 30,000 fans entered Edison Field to see how the second game would unfold. Unfortunately for the Yankees, as they endured a rather dreadful start to 1998, game two was more of the same, but a little bit worse.
