PHILADELPHIA — Remember that seven-game winning streak the Yankees carried into South Philly on Wednesday night? A loss in the first of two games that evening killed the run but a nightcap win put the Yankees in a position to cop two of three from Joe Girardi’s Phillies at Citizens Bank Park before flying to …

The voice on the telephone had a pleasing lilt to it, a melodic “Hellooooo!” dripping out of the receiver. One thing Horace Clarke wanted you to know before you ever asked the only question he ever seemed to hear was this: “I am happy, my friend,” he said that afternoon, winter of 2004. “I played …
