Xavier plus Youth equals win.

Xavier Nady had a career high Six RBI, had a monster Homerun all while going 4-5.

Nady has been a great addition to team providing the power that the Yankees had been lacking. Helping the Yankees beat the Angels 14-9 and splitting the series versus the best team in Baseball. In his eight career Yankee games Nady is hitting .385, has hit 3 HR and has driven in 10 runs.

Most players come to New York and hit a wall attempting to impress out of the box. While Nady had played in Queens at the big Toilet Bowl in Flushing, playing in the house that Ruth Built is different. We can say that he has shined during his first full week while wearing the Pinstripes.

Before we retire his number and make him out to be the next Paul O’Neal lets wait & see how he reacts on his first slump.

Touch of Youth

Justin Christian has been a shot of youth and energy. He is the spark that the Yankees have needed in the late innings. Justin has stolen 5 bases on 6 attempts while batting a healthy 296. People are comparing him to Homer Bush and his running style has been very similar. Homer in 1998 aided the Yankees in the late innings and was the spark plug off the bench.
