Yankees have notable milestones within reach
The Yankees are on the cusp of milestones, both historic and quirky. With the 2019 season entering its final month, let’s take a look at some numbers being pursed by pinstripe powerhouses.
D.J. LeMahieu wasn’t in the Yankees lineup on Opening Day. But, since then, he’s proven to be one of the most valuable Yankees.
LeMahieu enters play on Friday leading the majors with a .335 batting average as he looks to become the fourth Yankee ever to lead the majors in average — and the first since Mickey Mantle did it back in 1956.
