 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The last time the New York Yankees traveled to Anaheim in the playoffs, their pitchers got pounded and they headed home for the winter frustrated after a first-round exit.
The players on each roster who were around for that 2002 American League division series are few and far between, and both clubs are drastically different as they prepare to meet again.
"We're familiar with them and they're familiar with us, so the best team over the next five games will win," said Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who bruised his right knee during Sunday's regular-season finale at Fenway Park but plans to play in Game 1 on Tuesday night.
