NEW YORK — At 7:18 p.m. the last division series of the 2022 postseason was finally decided. Less than half an hour later, clubhouse attendants began closing down the celebration in the winning clubhouse. Players, their shirts sticky with champagne but with unnecessary goggles perched on their foreheads, stood on shrinking icebergs of protective tarp as it was pulled down from the walls and up from the carpets around them. There was little time to bask in revelry, the New York Yankees had a plane to catch, their reward for a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.
There's little celebrating for the Yankees as they move on to the ALCS. The Astros are waiting. Again
