Yankee history today

Who knew? The Yankees' sweep of the ChiSox this weekend marks only the third time the Yankees have swept a series wth the year's reigning World Champions. The Highlanders did it once, too, in old Hilltop Park. That's four times in more than 100 years of Yankee history, and one of them included the '98 fire-sold Florida Marlins, which shouldn't count.

And Mariano notched his 400th career save (a six out job). Only Lee, Hoffman, and Franco have more. And they're not going to the Hall of Fame.
