Monday night was a dream scenario for the Texas Rangers, and a nightmare for the Houston Astros. It was also a nightmare for a lot of New York baseball fans.
Following the New York Yankees' elimination from playoff contention, players have reportedly voiced concerns about the "brutal" environment created by their fans.
Fans at Yankee Stadium were quick to react when Ted Cruz was spotted in the stands during Game 4 of the ALCS, which led to a few hilarious viral moments.
It's blanket statement time: the 2021 ALCS, about to be played between the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros, would not be happening without the Capital Region.
Back in 2010, the Yankees failed to get Cliff Lee because minor league infielder David Adams didn't pass a physical due to a bum ankle and so the trade never happened with Seattle and Lee went to Texas instead and helped the Rangers win the pennant. Lee, at that time, was the surest pitcher in baseball. He isn't that now, at the age of 34, but the Yankees should still go get him.
