The Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees square off in game 6 of the 2010 ALCS, a series that has been historic, exciting, and defining for many players. The Rangers have the chance tonight to put the Big Apple away for good, clinching their first ever World Series appearance. The Yankees, on the other hand, obviously need to show their experience and playoff dominance as they close in on their greatly desired 29th World Series Championship against a team who has never even been in a Conference Series until this year.
Keys to Success
Texas
Nelson Cruz. the Rangers' right fielder, is the player of choice for Texas. In this post season, he's batting .378 with 4 home runs and 6 RBI. Behind MVP contender Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz has contributed the most to this club. He needs to get his hits early in the ballgame against the young right hander Phil Hughes to develop some momentum for the rest of the lineup.
Also, Texas' team post season batting average? .285 so far. More video game stats? I think yes.
