Yes, the Yankees are playing some uninspired baseball and no, it’s not particularly enjoyable watching them do so. But for a few moments, I’d like to forget about losing streaks and division races and club lines. Today, I’d like to share my appreciation of the privilege of getting to watch the two best players in MLB ply their craft.
These last three games have provided a spectacle the likes of which we may not see in quite awhile — the two frontrunners in the AL MVP race almost singlehandedly willing their respective teams to victory in a head-to-head showdown.
