A month past his 40th birthday, Jorge Posada walked up to home plate and found himself in a position so familiar, yet so different. A starter no more, a champion still. Posada came off the bench and helped the Yankees to yet another first-place finish, hitting a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning Wednesday night. The big hit propelled New York to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays by identical 4-2 scores in a day-night doubleheader, clinching the AL East title.
