My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me. -Derek Jeter

Last night, A.J. Burnett took the mound for the New York Yankees.  This start was one of the most crucial and important starts of his career.  The Yankees faced elimination last night as the Detroit Tigers were trying to win and more on to the American League Championship Series.  Many people were upset when Burnett was announced to pitch Game 4, due to his poor performance this season.  Burnett proved all the non believers and haters wrong Tuesday night as he pitched extremely well after a scary first inning.  A.J. settled in and gave the Yankees a quality start, throwing 5.2 innings and giving up one run on four hits.  He left the game with his Yankees up 4-1 and in a position to bring the series back to the Bronx.  The Yankees would go on to win the game 10-1, and look forward to playing Game 5 on Thursday night in New York to see who will advance to play the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series.
