...victory Wednesday night at Turner Field in Atlanta. It's a matchup few expected. While the high-expectation Yankees are chasing history, the Pods are just chasing legitimacy: San Diego hasn't been to the Series since 1984, when team star Tony Gwynn was just a pup in an ugly brown-and-orange uniform...
