When The Yankees Score First, It's All Over But The Shouting

From Elias: With their 5-0 win over the Blue Jays, the Yankees became the first team in American League history to begin a season 17-0 in games in which they scored the first run. Two other A.L. teams began seasons with 16-0 records in games in which they drew first blood, and even those two did it more than 100 years ago: Boston in 1904 and Chicago in 1912. The last major-league team to begin a season with a streak of that kind as long as the one owned by the Yankees was their crosstown rival: the 1992 Mets, managed by Jeff Torborg, won the first 18 games in which they posted the first run (but finished the season with 72 wins and 90 losses).
