The New York Yankees will represent the American League in the 2024 World Series. After a handful of tightly contested games against the Cleveland Guardians, New York ultimately only needed five games to finish off their side of the bracket. Now, they await the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets in the National League.
Following the game, second baseman Gleyber Torres stood next to designated hitter (and ALCS MVP) Giancarlo Stanton during an interview with YES Network's Meredith Marakovits. Torres, holding the American League trophy, said, "take the baby, take the baby," as he handed the hardware over to Stanton to cradle like a newborn. Stanton rocked the trophy like a baby.
