Postgame

Game 1 is a classic, a walk off repeat of the 1988 World Series Game 1, albeit with a grand slam twist, and a repeat of Jeffrey Maier fan interference call that we saw in the 1996 ALCS – and this time it was reversed. In between, great pitching performances from Cole and Flaherty, another key home run from Stanton, great defense and base running from Jazz Chisholm, a dramatic choice of Nestor Cortes to enter into the game in a huge spot and so ,uch more. The Yankees did almost everything to win this game, and then lost in absolutely bone crushing fashion. And tomorrow they face Yamamoto needing to win and avoid heading to the Bronx in a 2-0 hole.

It left me breathless, that’s what drama filled, high stakes sports can do. Thank you Game 1!

And that’s it from us! Wherever you are, thanks for following along! Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight!
