NEW YORK -- Oakland Athletics pitcher Jeurys Familia knows what it's like to feel like the enemy at Yankee Stadium.
From 2012 until this past July, the Dominican reliever had spent his entire career with the Mets, so he was in the Bronx for plenty of Subway Series games with capacity crowds of 49,000 plus doing what they do.
Yankees fans usually are loud and intimidating, and they're known for stepping up their game for playoff baseball.
They'll be back for Wednesday night's American League Wild Card Game trying to give the Yankees as much of a home-field advantage as possible while attempting to rattle the Athletics, a young ballclub that includes a lot of players who will experiencing postseason baseball for the first time.
