Yankee killer
A Yankee Killer is a Major League Baseball player, typically a pitcher, who has a reputation for being able to defeat the New York Yankees on a regular basis. The term dates back at least to Johnny Podres, the famed Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher who in 1955 led the team to its first World Series Championship against the seemingly invincible New York Yankees.
