Fan perspective: Who are the New York Yankees all-time second basemen? (Associated Content)
Throughout the years, fans of the New York Yankees have seen some amazing plays at second base.

Fan outlook: Young Florida club hoping to build Opening Day traditions (Associated Content)
Unlike the Cincinnati Reds and many other teams in the majors like the New York Yankees, the Florida Marlins (a team I've rooted for since their inception) don't have a great many Opening Day traditions. The city of Miami certainly doesn't have any huge parades similar to the Findlay Market Parade in downtown Cincinnati, and there is no "Old-Timers" game staged as in the "Big Apple." This isn't surprising, though, as the South Florida franchise has been in existence for less than two decades, while the Cincinnati Reds had...
