This is tough to tab the New York Yankees as a team of destiny. They challenge for World Series titles year after year, their spending habits are often blamed for making Major League Baseball a plutocracy that rewards the big-market teams with wins and glory. They are either the definition of a classy, winning franchise or the personification of arrogant, humorless baseball-as-business thinking, depending on which borough you're in, and nowhere in either view are they considered underdogs.
But when the legendary Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin are combining on one-hitters in the Bronx, it's hard to deny that fortune may be smiling on the Bombers.
