Yankees' Boone to make home managerial debut vs. Rays

NEW YORK -- For only the fourth time in the last 26 years, the New York Yankees will introduce a new manager to fans attending their home opener.

From 1976 to 1991, there were nine different managers on Opening Day, but since then Aaron Boone will join Joe Girardi, Joe Torre, and Buck Showalter as the fourth manager to tip his cap to fans in baseline introductions.

That is assuming the game gets played because there is snow in the forecast for Monday morning and cold conditions by the time the Yankees are slated to host the Tampa Bay Rays in their 10th home opener at the current Yankee Stadium.
