Here at Pinstripe Alley we're in the midst of a 20th anniversary retrospective for the 1996 World Series champions. In the spirit of that series, and since the entire east coast is being covered with snow this weekend, it seems like an appropriate time to take a look back at the Yankees' home opener that season. On April 9, 1996 the Yankees hosted the Kansas City Royals in a game that featured snow flurries from beginning to end. In Joe Torre's home debut as Yankee manager, most still didn't know what to expect from this team.
