Displaced New Yorkers and West Coast Yankees diehards packed the Big A over three games in late August and early September. Chants of "Let's Go Yankees" could be heard all the way to Disneyland.
But thanks to Shohei Ohtani, they didn't last.
In the second game of the series on Aug. 31, Ohtani made his way to third base with two outs in the fifth inning. After a swing-and-miss by Jared Walsh, Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez threw across the diamond to try to stop Phil Gosselin from stealing second. Ohtani broke for home on the throw as part of a delayed double steal, sneaking his left hand past Sanchez's swiping tag to add to Los Angeles' lead in what would be a 6-4 win.
