1. That 2009 – 2012 run was great. I think that group had at least one more ring in them, even without someone like Matsui still around.

2. God I miss CC

3. Hall of Fame performance from a Hall of Famer

4. Pretty much the last time he ever was an ace at the peak of his powers

5. I was at this game! Lol

6. And took a pay cut

7. I wish he would have gotten another ring. Man is a beast

8. Will we ever see pitchers do this again?

   Analytics would say to pull him but obviously that’s the wrong move.

9. It was really NY vs Baltimore from 2012-2017

10. Nice composed play by Jeter there in the 8th inning with the bases loaded. I’d be shitting my pants watching that ball get hit to Volpe in that spot

11. I was at that game, electric

12. Good old days 😭😭😭😭

13. 121 pitches this game.

14. On this day in 2025 we’re huddled over a toilet in Cancun, puking.

15. Im glad he got one. Boone would have pulled him at 70 pitches or something

16. look at them. living in the moment. not a draftkings ad to be seen.

17. I was there. Best pitching performance I’ve witnessed in person.

18. Boone would have pulled him in the 5th and they would have then lost

19. Watching CC go from a flame thrower to the pitcher over his yankee career was really fun. I remember when he added the cuter and featured the change more. He was almost more dominate than 09 and 10

    Yankee legend

20. My guy has lost weight! Have you seen him recently?

21. My dad took me to game 4…. I wake up and we’re eating breakfast and he turns to me, “Wanna see game 5?”

    Love you dad, huge play my guy
