Time flies! It is time to introduce the most familiar division to me, the AL East.
AL
East is comprised of New York Yankees (NYY), Baltimore Orioles (BAL), Tampa Bay
Rays (TB), Boston Red Sox (BOS), and Toronto Blue Jays (TOR)(Jays is also the
only team whose stadium is located in Canada).
#1.
The logos of AL East teams (from left above to right below): TB, TOR, NYY, BAL,
and BOS.
As
for the team I will bring some introduction is NYY, because I am a Yankee fan.
#2.
Yankee Stadium. (In Bronx, N.Y.).
Yankees,
sometimes nicknamed as The Bronx’ bomber, is one of the oldest team in MLB. Years
ago, NYY is referred as evil empire because the boss then, George Steinbrenner,
is deeply convinced that once he invest money on prominent players, they will
be invincible. Nevertheless, after he had passed away, the new boss of NYY
decided to put more emphasis on minor league, cultivating their own prospects.

Re2pect!!
Derek
Jeter, an iconic all-star shortstop in NYY history. He is dubbed the fame of “ The
Captain” not only because of his charisma, but for his legendary career in NYY.
Speaking
of my favorite player in NYY, undoubtedly, I would say the name of Mark
Teixeira.
He
is known by his awesome defense, exceptional slugger ability, and positive
attitude.
