The calendar has turned to September and for the first time in a while, it feels good to be a New York Yankees fan.
The team sits at 90-48 and leads the AL East by 10 games. Aaron Judge’s home run swing has returned and key players are soon returning from injuries. More importantly, gone is the anxiety of having to potentially play in the AL Wild Card Game.
That is, it will be if the Yankees continue playing well in September. Stumbling in the season’s final month has torpedoed playoff hopes many times.
