History for the Bronx Bombers
In the 121 year history of the New York Yankees Major League Baseball franchise, they have won 27 World Series titles and had 61 players inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame. The Yankees are largely regarded as the greatest franchise in the history of not just baseball, but of any franchise ever in the sports world. Thus being said, before this season in the MLB, since 1901, there have only been eight teams that have had two separate players hit a home run in both of the first two games of the season. The Yankees were not one of these teams. In their opening series of the 2022 MLB season, the Yankees faced off against their biggest rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Again, this is largely seen as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rivalries in the history of sports. In the first two games of the Yankees season against their rivals, Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton both hit home runs in each of these games. This solidified the Yankees franchise as the ninth ever to have players accomplish this feat. This is highly impressive of these players to do and even more so considering how great some of the teams that the Yankees have had over the years. It is another accomplishment in the long list for the historic franchise.
