The Yankees and the Orioles will meet in the playoffs for the first time since the Jeffrey Maier game way way back in 1996. A lot has changed since that game in 1996 including 5 Yankees World Series, that rookie kid named Derek Jeter who hit the home run flourished into a major league ball player chasing Pete Rose to be the all time hits king, the Yankees have spent more money then the Obama administration (but actually has more to show for it believe it or not), etc etc etc. Throw out all your stats, your matchups, everything because the Orioles have defied them all the entire season. The Yankees will send their ace and work horse CC Sabathia to the mound to try and take the all important game 1 and will be facing off against Jason Hammell. The game will be televised at 6:00 pm ET on TBS.
