Aaron Boone has finally managed the New York Yankees into the World Series. Since taking over as the skipper in 2018, he led New York to the doorstep twice but could never manage to get past the ALCS until Saturday night, when his team beat the Cleveland Guardians in extra innings to take the ALCS four games to one.

They are tired, some of them are broken (or at least have broken fingers), and yet the New York Yankees are one win away from their first pennant since 2009. They outlasted the Cleveland Guardians in ALCS Game 4 on Friday after the two teams spent two days trading haymakers.

NY beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series. Juan Soto hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees advanced to their 41st World Series - and first in 15 years - by beating the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series on Saturday night.
