There are three teams from major media markets left standing in the quest to capture a World Series, so Major League Baseball made the First Take rundown on Wednesday. The full clip is below but here is a summation of how that played out.
Leading off was Stephen A. Smith who is feeling pretty good right now because the New York Yankees are up 2-0 on the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Championship Series.

Smith mentioned that the big boppers are bopping before offering his take that the New York Mets, level in their own series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, are actually inspiring the fellas in pinstripes.
