With fewer than 20 games remaining in a surreal 1998 campaign, the Yankees started a series with the Toronto Blue Jays in the Bronx, coming off clinching the AL East with weeks to spare. The Jays were a good club themselves, entering play 78-67, which left them a ludicrous 25 games back of New York.
In the series opener, New York turned to southpaw Andy Pettitte to keep the Blue Jay offense in check. And outside of one awful inning, he did that. Luckily, the offense was on point and stormed back, leaving the Jays in the dust.
