No doubt I jinxed the Baby Bombers last week, their playoff hopes now hanging by the slimmest of margins following a four-game sweep from the Grown Men Red Sox. It was the first such sweep of the Yanks by the Sox since 1990, when I was a mere baby bomber myself. And the Yankees were just as terrible. Highlight that year was one Kevin Maas, home-run-hitting heir apparent to Don Mattingly. Am I seeing the same thing this year in Rookie of the Year candidate Gary Sanchez?
Giving Maas’s record after that beautiful season… let’s hope not.
