Yankees take Game 1 of ALCS from the Angels

The New York Yankees have in recent years developed a rivalry with the Angels who have knocked them out twice in the first round of the playoffs. Now it's for the right to play in the World Series. New York won it 4-1 with some timely hitting and great defense and zero home runs. Since this year, this was the only second match in 82 games where no home runs were hit. But that's okay because teams will take wins anyway they can. Great pitching job by CC Sabathia who worked eight innings of four-hit ball before turning it over to Mo Rivera for a 1-2-3. 

Now it's Game 2 and for the Yankees, they remember losing twice in Game 2 situations to the Angels. Going 2-0 would be real huge. And a big treat for Yankee fans, former pinstriped great David Cone throwing the ceremonial first toss! Whooo!
