Seven days after starting their second big win streak of April north of the border in Toronto, the 1998 Yankees welcomed the Blue Jays to the Bronx for a quick two-game set. Future Yankee starter Roger Clemens would get the ball for the Blue Jays, while a member of the Core Four, Andy Pettitte, took the mound for the Bombers, in what would be one of the great pitching duels of the season.

For those of us born in the late 1990s and for whom the Yankees teams of the early 2000s are the ones that our fandom evolved and took shape in, Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte will forever be linked.
