The Yankees are optimistic that a new season will end a World Series drought that has extended past a decade, but as fans passed through Yankee Stadium’s gates for the first time in more than a year on Thursday, the storyline of missed opportunities rang all too familiar.
The Bombers went hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position, leaving 10 men on base in a frustrating performance. Randal Grichuk’s run-scoring double pushed across the deciding run in the 10th inning as the Yankees fell to the Blue Jays, 3-2, on Opening Day in the Bronx.
