Shaun Morash and CMac go to war over whether George Lombard Jr.’s first Yankees start truly mirrored Derek Jeter’s Opening Day debut as the team’s everyday shortstop. CMac argues the comparison stands, but Shaun blasts him for ignoring Jeter’s 1995 stint and says Lombard has not officially secured the job yet.
Tiki Barber steps in as judge and delivers the final verdict, siding with Shaun and declaring CMac’s argument wrong. The fight then spills into Lombard’s unusual No. 96, whether he could change it within days, and Shaun’s claim that the Yankees rookie is already the greatest No. 96 in New York sports history.
