If the New York Yankees had played clean defense in the World Series, they likely would have a 3-2 series lead heading back to California. Instead, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the Fall Classic in five games. The Bronx Bombers lived up to their name early in Game 5 on Wednesday night, getting out to a 5-0 lead thanks to home runs by Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm and Giancarlo Stanton. Gerrit Cole was dominating, but all of a sudden, it all unraveled.
The 23-year-old shortstop lived out his childhood dream and helped the Yankees force a Game 5.
Although the momentum is strongly in the favor of the Los Angeles Dodgers through two games of the 2024 World Series, the New York Yankees can turn everything around at home. With a sense of uneasiness permeating the fandom, particularly after a nauseating Game 1 loss, perhaps the living person most synonymous with the Yankees pinstripes can spark a cosmic change in the atmosphere. Jeter won five championships with New York and seized World Series MVP honors in 2000 (.409 batting average, two home runs versus New York Mets).
