How the 2019 Yankees compare to their 2009 counterparts

Ten years ago today, on April 3, 2009, the New York Yankees opened their new ballpark in an exhibition match against the Chicago Cubs in a game that they would win 7-4. Unknown to Yankees fans at the time, that day began a magical season where the Bronx Bombers would take home the 27th World Series title in franchise history. A high-flying offense with a propensity for the long ball carried the team. When everybody was healthy, they lacked a hole in the lineup.

Ten years have passed since that epic season, the last time that a World Series title was brought home to New York.
