Good morning to a new New York everybody. The Yankees squared things up in their series against the Blue Jays thanks to a timely two-run homer from Paul Goldschmidt and the return of Jasson Domínguez proving fruitful with a solo blast, securing the win after Cam Schlittler gave the team seven strong with just one run allowed. However, even on a Yankees page like this we have to acknowledge the monumental achievement that is the New York Knicks winning the NBA Finals after 53 long years, besting the San
Antonio Spurs 4-1 with yet another comeback win in the fourth quarter. The vibes in the city are sky-high, and hopefully with the stage now fully clear for baseball in the city the Yankees can ride that momentum into being the boys of summer.
We’ve got a relatively quiet day to wrap up the weekend before getting into the rubber match against Toronto. Jonathan wishes former Yankee Chase Whitley well on his birthday and reminisces on his career, Kevin covers the Rivalry Roundup featuring a Tampa Bay loss that puts the Yanks back in the driver’s seat in the AL East, and John has the weekly social media spotlight featuring plenty from that Knicks run with Yankees past and present making cameos at the games.
