New York Yankees Record 62-45 (.579) Second place in the AL East (1.0 GB)
Philadelphia Phillies Record 65-40 (.619) First place in the NL East (+8.5)
Ah, the Yankees. Such a rich and storied past, an icon not only of baseball history but of the very fabric of American history. Travel through Europe or almost anywhere else in the world and you’ll find locals donning hats embroidered with that famous NY logo - and they know to turn their nose up to Mets merch.
And if you’re a Phillies fan you probably hate the Yankees if for nothing more than the 2009 World Series.
