FORT MYERS, Fla. - Four months have passed but one New York Yankees outfielder is still bugged by the playoff-round loss that sent his team to an early exit last fall.
"I'm still not over it," Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks said Saturday. "I'm not over it until we win."
Hicks made the comments during the middle of the Yankees' spring-training opener at the Red Sox's JetBlue Park, when asked how long it took him to get over the American League Division Series defeat.
Although it was an exhibition which featured only one of Boston's regular players -- Rafael Devers -- Saturday's game was the first between the two clubs since Boston's series-clinching 4-3 win in the Bronx in Game 4 of the ALDS last October.
