Kentucky Wildcats' connection to the Yankees
The Yankees took home their 27th World Championship on Nov. 4. Leading the way for the Yankees were Hideki Matsui and C.C. Sabathia, as the Bronx Bombers christened their new stadium with a World Series victory over Philadelphia. Credit: David Pokress
The Yankees might have just clinched their 28th world title last night when Kentucky defeated Kansas for the NCAA championship. When you open your Newsday this morning, you will see this nifty graphic that we have placed in OBP for your enjoyment.
The last six times the Kentucky Wildcats won the national championship, the Yankees have gone on to capture the World Series. Purely coincidence? We'll just have to wait till October rolls around.
