There are few events that are bigger in Yankee baseball than the home opener. The event is a chance to trot out the old stars, the old memories, the glorious tradition and all the pomp that goes with it.

That is a crisp .638 winning percentage. Since 2001, the only season the Yankees won less than 50 games at home was 2008.
