The New York Yankees spanked the Minnesota Twins, who had stayed up late the night before fighting off the Detroit Tigers. The Takeaway's Sports correspondent, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, recaps all the night's highlights.

WHO was the reporter discussing the baseball playoffs--was it IBRAHIM ABDUL-MATIN?
Please tell him that baseball is not scored in points.
They are called RUNS. Maybe JOHN HOCKENBERRY should take him to a Red Sox /Yankkee game then
he may learn about baseball.
