It’s a great time to be a New York baseball fan.
The Yankees are atop the big leagues with an incredible 60-23 record. The Mets are not far behind, sitting in first place in the National League East division at 52-31.
Both teams are on the fast track to October. And their managers deserve plenty of credit. But could Aaron Boone and Buck Showalter both be named manager of the year in their respective leagues? The Athletic says yes. It gave its midseason honor to both.
From The Athletic:
Boone has a lot of [former Yankees manager Joe] Torre in him.
