 NEW YORK (AP) - Jorge Posada had just been barreled over at home plate by a 220-pound opponent running full speed. He sat up, held the ball gently in his fingers and exhaled.
The All-Star catcher was OK, plus his team was out of the inning. And that's how it went all night for the New York Yankees: They were battered and bruised — but not beaten.
Posada hit a game-winning, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth after withstanding a violent collision, and Derek Jeter helped drive New York to a 14-13 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday — matching the biggest comeback in Yankees history.
