There was no heroic Scott Brosius home run. Joe Girardi didn’t deliver an early-game triple that sent an entire fanbase into a frenzy. The Captain, Derek Jeter, was nowhere to be found when the baseball needed to be flipped to unusually to home plate.
Save for an all-time, gutsy at-bat by DJ LeMahieu that produced a game-tying ninth-inning home run, the 2019 New York Yankees have officially forced old-school fans to once again long for the good ole’ days.
The Houston Astros out-clutched the Yankees in every way not only in Game 6, but they did so for the entirety of the 2019 ALCS.
