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.
