The notion of the Yankee ghosts grew to insane proportions over the past decade, eventually reaching the point that whenever something special happened in the Bronx the credit always went to those darned supernatural forces. It's shocking there hasn't been a Yankeeography on the stadium ghosts yet.
Maybe there was something supernatural behind Aaron Boone's ALCS winning home run in 2003 or those thrilling game-tying home runs by Scott Brosius and Tino Martinez in the 2001 World Series.
But, if you look at Yankees history in that vein, then you have to question where Mystique and Aura disappeared to in 2004 when the Boston Red Sox became the first team to come back from a three-games-to-none deficit in a playoff series - and completed the task in the Bronx.
Or what happened to the ghosts in the playoffs in 2005, 2006 and 2007 when the Yankees looked as if they lost their superpowers once the calendar hit October? And how could these ghosts have possibly allowed the Yankees to miss the postseason in the final season of the stadium's illustrious history?
