Acce s the Yankees beat like never before Dont mi s Greg Joyces text me sages from The Bronx and beyond hes giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. I am old enough to remember when New York baseball was great. Let me just consult my handy calendar to go all the way back to the halcyon days of mid-May. Thats when the Mets and Yankees faced each other for the first time this season; baseball archaeologists have pinpointed May 16 Vlatko CanCar Jersey as the start date. The Yankees were 25-18, second best in the American League and leading their division by four games. The Mets were 28-16, fourth-best record in the majors, leading the NL East by two games. The Yankees took two of three in The Bronx, but the Subway Series seemed to launch both the defending AL champs and the surprise NLCS party crashers. Over the next three-plus weeks, through June 12, the Mets tied the Blue Jays for the best record (16-6). The Yankees were next at 15-6. Michael Porter Jersey
