MLB Power Rankings: Yankees hold steady at top spot
Sincerest apologies about not posting the power rankings for the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been a little sidetracked. But, I’m back at it this week, though instead of the 1-30 through as I did previously, I’ve condensed it to a top 10. 1. New York Yankees (74-44) It’s Christmas in August for Yankees [...]
