#Yankees-Rays preview feat. Jim Leyritz

The Yankees and Rays do not like each other. Benches cleared during the regular season when the two teams faced off. Now they take each other on in the ALDS. Get your popcorn ready. This could end up being a classic series, even without a fan in the building in a neutral stadium in San Diego. To preview the series in its entirety, we bring you a brand new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Yankees great Jeff Nelson. The guys are joined in this episode by The Post’s Ken Davidoff from San Diego and two-time World Series champion with the Yankees, Jim Leyritz.

Shearn and Nellie open the podcast talking about the fierce rivalry this season between the Yankees and Rays. They talk about Game 1 being so important for the Yankees to win, the series being in San Diego and why this will be an epic series. The guys both believe the Yankees will win the series in five games.

The great Ken Davidoff then drops by from his hotel room in San Diego as he will be covering the series this week. Davidoff talks about what the pitching matchups might look like, why this should be a great series, the chirping between the two teams and why he thinks the Yankees will win the series.

Leyritz then joins the show. Leyritz and Nellie talk about memories facing each other in 1995 and then playing with each other in 1996. Leyritz talks about his memorable game-tying home run in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series. Leyritz discusses why he was able to hit in the clutch in the postseason, the added pressure, the loudest he heard the old Yankee Stadium and Don Mattingly’s year in 1995. Leyritz talks about why he’s encouraged with the current Yankees team and why they can win. He also talks about what he’s doing now.
