Pinstripe Alley: This Is Most Fun Yankees Squad Since ‘96

SB Nation’s Yankees blog, Pinstripe Alley, reacts to Saturday night’s 13-inning epic in three short acts.

Act the First:

I can’t think any more tonight. I’ll write a real recap tomorrow. Oh sweet Lord, I think I love this team more than any team since 1996.

Act the Second, in which Pinstripe Alley passes along some words from Sam Borden:

To be honest, for all his remarkable numbers, A-Rod has never inspired legend quite like a Williams or Ruth, a Bonds or a Mantle. Yet through five postseason games, he now has three home runs that have either tied or put the Yankees ahead. One off Joe Nathan and another off Brian Fuentes, two pretty darn good closers, too.

Act the Third, complete with reactions from around the Yankees world:

This Yankee pitching staff has been incredible.

Ponder if you will:

10 runs in 51 IP.

As the ALCS continues, be sure to keep up with Pinstripe Alley.
