Today’s game, the annual New York City Public Schools Day at Yankee Stadium, brought the staccato of thousands of children screaming every time a ball was hit in the air. The crowd of over 40,000 had a lot to cheer about as the Yankees turned in an entertaining matinee performance on Wednesday.
Every game counts the same, and the Yankees will take wins wherever they can get them. The Rays feasted on the Athletics for three W’s in early April, and the Yankees obliged by similarly taking care of business with Oakland in an 11-3 rout to secure the sweep.
