This same day can now be considered the blackest day in the already plenty black history of New York Yankee's Baseball, and a deliberate affront made by the Yankee franchise to every one of its loyal fans around the globe. What was supposed to be the single greatest event for all Yankee fans lucky enough to be living in baseball's new era was nothing short of purposely sabotaged, murdered, if you will, by the g
