Redemption

27. It's a hallowed number, newly-anointed. Rodriguez, Matsui, Cano, Cabrera. Will those names evoke emotion someday, similar to that of Meusel, Hoyt, Ruffing and Page? Newly-crowned champions joining Posada and Pettitte, the Captain and The Great Mariano, and of course, #27...Our Pal Joey. This is a special moment, a special team, now firing on all cylinders. Cynics will quickly point out the payroll, and that is fine. When the Yankees have huge resources, and have finally figured out how to use those resources, watch out. The New Dynasty is awakening.... Go Yankees! Onward now, to 28.
