<font color="purple" c>AL EAST CHAMPIONS for the 7th straight year! </font c>
Quote:
In any other town for almost any other team, what Bernie Williams did last night would rank near the top of franchise achievements. Around here, it was just the latest mystical accomplishment that makes you believe a little more in Yankee Stadium ghosts.
Williams, the longest tenured current Yankee, crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth off Aaron Fultz to lift his club to a 6-4 victory over the Twins and clinch the Bombers' seventh straight AL East title.

Not only did Williams' homer clinch a pennant, but it also was the Yankees' 241st of the season — one more than the record 240 hit by the 1961 outfit. And finally, <u>it gave the Yankees 100 victories for the third straight season, something they had never accomplished </u>

YANKEES RAISE THE FLAG AGAIN
