The New York Yankees have advanced to the World Series for the first time since 2009 after defeating the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, clinching the pennant with a 4-1 series victory. Outfielder Juan Soto provided a pivotal three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning, sealing the game and showcasing the Yankees' depth and resilience. The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, with players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton poised for their first championships. Notably, Bahamian third baseman Jasrado 'Jazz' Chisholm Jr. will also make his World Series debut, becoming only the second Bahamian to participate in this major event. As the team prepares for the Fall Classic, left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes is trending toward a return, adding strategic depth against the Dodgers' lineup. The Yankees are aiming for their 28th championship title, building on the legacy of past players like Brett Gardner, who contributed to the team's culture and success.
