Alright, let’s talk about the 2012 New York Yankees roster. Man, that takes me back. I remember spending hours digging into this stuff, trying to figure out who was who and what their stats were.
So, I started by looking up some basic info on the team. Found out that the New York franchise got approved way back in 1903, which is pretty wild. They played in this old wooden park at 168th Street and Broadway, apparently one of the highest spots in Manhattan.
Then, I dove into the 2012 season. This was the year the Yankees went 95-67, can you believe it? They finished first in the AL East, but sadly, they lost in the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers. Still, a pretty solid season.
I used this website called “Stats Crew” to get the full roster. It was a bit of a mess to sort through, but I managed. They had everyone listed, from David Aardsma to Robinson Cano, Francisco Cervelli, and even Joba Chamberlain.
The main players I focused on:
- Mariano Rivera, pitcher, number 42. That guy was a legend.
- Robinson Cano, second base.
- Francisco Cervelli, catcher.
I also found some details about the team’s manager, Joe Girardi. Seems like he did a decent job that year, considering the team’s record. It was interesting to learn that their Pythagorean W-L was also 95-67, with 804 runs.
It took a while to piece everything together, cross-referencing different sources, but I finally got a good grasp of the 2012 Yankees roster. It’s pretty cool to look back and see how the team was built that year.
It was quite the journey, piecing together the roster and the season’s story from various sources. But hey, that’s what makes it fun, right?
