After beating the A’s in the American League Wild Card game, the Yankees meet the Boston Red Sox in a MLB playoffs series, for the first time in 14 years
As the later innings approached at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, “WE WANT BOSTON!” chants erupted around the ballpark. The enthusiastic fans donned in Yankee blue shouted in reference to the ALDS, and the fact that whoever won this game, would fly directly to Boston to face the Sox in the MLB playoffs.
“WE WANT BOSTON!,” they proclaimed.
At the end of a 9-inning contest that, if we’re being honest, the Yankees had won from the second Aaron Judge deposited a home run into the left-field seats, fans got what they wanted.
They got Boston.
Boston, however, is a powerhouse that the Yankees may not be strong enough to beat. They won 108 games in the regular season and demolished virtually every baseball that ventured within the bounds of the strike zone.
This is the series that the American League has been building towards all season long. It’s a series that’s 14 years in the making.
Let’s take a look at how it could play out.
