| Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees have exercised their 2012 options on second baseman Robinson Cano and outfielder Nick Swisher. Cano, who turned 29 last week, led the Yankees with a .302 average to go with 28 home runs, 118 RBI and 104 runs scored. The All-Star has hit .308 during his seven-year career in New York.

The 16- run falloff also matched a World Series record set by the 1938 New York Yankees. "He did an outstanding job," Pujols said of Holland. "It was a big leap for them. He saved the bullpen. In Game 3, we got into the bullpen deep, and that's what we couldn't do today. For me, I got some good pitches to hit, and I just missed |

Young pitched parts of 11 seasons in the majors with Oakland, Kansas City and the New York Yankees. The lefty was 69-53 with a 4.31 ERA over 251 games, including 162 starts, and helped the A's to three straight AL pennants from 1988-90.

Well it was the first go-ahead RBI by a pinch- hitter in a World Series game since Wade Boggs' bases-loaded walk for the New York Yankees in 1996. In fact no one had smacked a game-winning RBI pinch-hit since Ed Sprague did so for the Blue Jays in '92. "Cold-weather game, sitting on the bench, World Series, Ogando -- it's not a very good situation," Cardinals manager Tony La R |

| Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees have declined relief pitcher Damaso Marte's club option for the 2012 season. The option was worth $4 million. Marte came to the Yankees in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2008, but has appeared in just 76 games in his three-year stint, including missing the entire 2011 season after surgery to repair a torn labrum last October. He had a 2-6 record with a 6.02 earned run average and two saves in his time in New York. Though, he did make fou |

Instead it will be the business as usual Texas Rangers taking on the never- say-die St. Louis Cardinals in what may be the least anticipated Fall Classic since, well, the last time Tony La Russa's club was involved back in 2006 when his team beat the Detroit Tigers.
