Generation Y not? Yanks have pieces to win
The Yankees extend their winning streak to eight games, including opening the season a perfect 7-0 in the BronxThis is what an eight-game winning streak gets you: confidence, momentum and good vibes. That's true for every team, especially early in a season. That's emphatically true for the New York Yankees, who are trying to do one of the toughest things any team can do.
That is, transition to younger players while remaining competitive.
On Opening Day, all the young talent created a sense of the unknown the Yankees usually don't have. In that unknown was something thrilling: the next generation of Yankees was becoming this generation of Yankees.
