Bats: Can the Yankees Squeeze In a Few More?

Plagued by injuries since spring training, the Yankees had already used a club-record 54 players (listed in the team logo above, with the size of each name proportional to the number of games played) going into Wednesday night's game at Baltimore. And the number continued to grow, with the newly acquired shortstop Brendan Ryan making his Yankees debut against the Orioles. For those who are wondering, the Elias Sports Bureau said the record for the most players used by one team in a season is 59, set by the Cleveland Indians in 2002 and the San Diego Padres in 2002 and 2008. The Yankees have two and a half weeks to match that mark. And who knows? They might.
