The New York Yankees are back in the World Series for the first time since 2009, and the team is commemorating the moment with a special patch on their jerseys and hats.
The Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games to win the American League Championship Series. New York closed things out in dramatic fashion in Saturday's Game 5 when star slugger Juan Soto hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the 10th inning.
The Yankees will be facing the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers in a marquee matchup that pits the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues against one another.
