First time since '98 for the 10 with 10, right?

[hardrain]

is it okay on this board to say I am happy that the Yanks won tonight?

Yup. Shane Spencer & Chad Curtis each had 10 to round it out. (Cheated & looked it up )

Oh yeah, just ignore all those home runs.

I believe that the 61 Yanks were the only team to have six players with 20 or more dingers. Maris, Mantle, Skowrun, Berra, Howard and Blanchard.

Jeters HR puts him with Mays as the only ML's with over 3000 hits, 250 HRs and 300 SB's
