New York Yankees Tickets

By any other team’s standards, the Yankees had quite a successful campaign in 2012. They finished first in the AL East with a 95-67 record and won the divisional series against the Orioles in five games. However, they were swept in the ALCS, and in the Bronx, if you don’t win it all, nothing else matters. This year, the Yanks kept the band together in hopes of winning it all at least one more time with the current core of superstars. During the offseason, they resigned Andy Pettitte to a one-year, $12 million deal; pitcher Hiroki Kuroda to a one-year, $15 million contract; closer Mariano Rivera to a one-year, $10 million deal; and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki to a two-year, $13 million contract. And as a safeguard for the injured Alex Rodriguez, third basemen Kevin Youkilis was signed to a one-year, $12 million deal as well.

Though many of the Yanks are certainly aging, there is no doubt that they’re still playing excellent baseball. Their core of young stars like C.C. Sabathia, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, and Mark Texieira balance out vets like Jeter and ARod quite adroitly, and this year should be another success. The 2013 Yankees schedule has the squad in a supreme opening day game, as they’ll begin against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on April 1^st at 1:05 pm ET. The Yankees will also have April home-stands against the Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, and Houston Astros.
