We are absolutely behind the new-look Yankees.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
When you're on a win streak you don't upset the apple cart. Some players might wear the same shoes every game, or fail to wash an undershirt. The New York Yankees have stumbled across their good luck charm, and it just so happens to be a creepy horse mask.
Relief pitcher Shawn Kelley and the club is 5-0 since Kelley started donning the mask as part of his pre-game regimen. The 26-year-old right- hander has been wearing the latex horse head to entertain his team since he bought it on Amazon.com, now it's become a critical staple of the team's daily routine.
Personally, we hope the rest of the Yankees take up the same method. A whole stampede of dead-eyed horses running onto the field in glory. It will be perfect.
