Six years ago in August, I decided that I wanted to get one more Yankee game in that summer before heading back to college for the start of my junior year. Looking at my calendar, I saw that there was only one day where I was free that the team was in the Bronx: August 12th. I bought the tickets, eager to see the Yankees take on the Tampa Bay Rays, and intrigued by the giveaway: a replica of the 1996 championship trophy, celebrating the team that sparked a dynasty just months after I was born.
