New York Knicks Support Yankees in World Series

The New York Knicks are rallying behind the Yankees as they head into the World Series for the first time in 15 years, drawing parallels with the Yankees' historic droughts and their own aspirations. Knicks players, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, have publicly expressed their support for the Yankees, with Towns praising Yankees slugger Juan Soto as a modern-day Ted Williams. Hart, who is related to former Yankees player Elston Howard, also shared his excitement for the team's journey, despite being away on a road trip during the series. Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson echoed this sentiment, expressing confidence in the Yankees' chances while lamenting their inability to attend the games due to schedule conflicts. The Yankees will face the Dodgers, and the Knicks’ support highlights the interconnectedness of New York's sports culture. As the Yankees embark on this championship pursuit, the Knicks are hopeful for their own breakthroughs in the near future.
