NEW YORK -- The Yankees' clubhouse crew had almost no time to prepare.
Plans had been drawn out for how the prepare the Yankees' clubhouse for a celebration -- replete with 120 bottles of Moet & Chandon -- if they were to clinch a playoff spot this weekend. And they didn't need much time to be put into action.
But a little heads up would surely have been nice.
Instead, Aaron Hicks doubled, Didi Gregorius scored, and the Yankees won, 3-2, in the 11th inning over the Orioles at Yankee Stadium to clinch at least a spot in the American League Wild Card Game.
