"The Yankees can't win it all just by hitting home runs. In October, when the weather is cold and the pitchers are elite, they'll need to play small ball. I don't view this as complete malarkey. There are grains of truth to those notions. It is generally colder in October than it is in July or August, no matter where you’re playing ball. And playoff teams generally will have good pitchers, and the postseason schedule provides a tad more rest for those pitchers." - by Ken Davidoff in the New York Post (07/19/2012, 'The Yankees, home runs and October', Source)
