Posted by Steve Lombardi on April 12th, 2009 · Comments (1)

Via Baseball-Reference.com, since 1954, Yankees batters who have had 2 or more 3+ RBI games within the team’s first five games of the season:

                 Year Games Link to Individual Games
+-----------------+----+-----+-------------------------+
 Butch Wynegar   1986     2 Ind. Games
 Nick Swisher     2009     2 Ind. Games
 Bill Skowron      1962     2 Ind. Games
 Bill Skowron      1955     2 Ind. Games
 Mickey Mantle    1961     2 Ind. Games
 Mickey Mantle    1956     2 Ind. Games
 Jason Giambi     2007     2 Ind. Games
 Hank Bauer      1954     2 Ind. Games

The interesting thing here for Swisher is that he only started 3 of the Yankees first 5 games this season.
