A team loaded with talent had their best chance to snag a World Series title since 2009...and they blew it. Well, blowing it isn’t the right verbiage when the 2024 New York Yankees lost the World Series in 5 games, but the top of the 5th inning of Game 5 epitomized the collapse of a team that actually showed their might to win the AL Pennant.
The Yankees then went on to lose a generational talent in Juan Soto who would have made the Bronx Bombers’ lineup one of the best for years to come.
