You can count them on three fingers…
Those are the three times since 1954 where the Yankees pitchers have allowed zero runs in a game of 15 innings or more…and the game from 2009 is the only time they’ve done it at home since ’54.
I see that the first two took place back in the era when the Yankees actually beat the Angels once in a while; when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Ah, back in the day…

I guess that makes A-Rod’s HR even more clutch.

to be honest, i wouldn’t have called that clutch. Both sides took home run swings for 7 innings. Someone was bound to finally connect…

it says a lot about Melky that the whole time I truly expected him to bring it home for us.
About an inch to the left and he would have in the 14th
