I am a huge Yankees fan and I always make sure I watch every game they play. I watched them struggle in the beginning of the season, but I still believed that they had enough time to clinch the Eastern Division. In the beginning they were fourteen and a half games behind the Boston Red Sox, and Boston looked unstoppable.
September 19, 2007, was the most important game that I ever watched. Boston gave up a Grand Slam and lost the game, and the Yankees were in the top of the ninth inning with the bases loaded. I watched the TV when the crowd cheered when they saw the scoreboard that officially declared Boston's six to one loss to the Toronto Bluejays. I was literally standing up in front of the TV ready to jump out of my skin for Mariano Rivera to make the last out. He pitched two breaking balls, and I was like NO do not walk him to give up the tying run. Then he pitched back to back strikes. Then the final blow was a strike on the outside corner and yelled out uncontrollably as I realized that the Yankees were just one and a half games behind Boston. They came back from being fourteen and half games back, and I knew Mariano would save this game because is one of the clutch pitchers in MLB. I felt like the whole time he was pitching that he was only building suspense for the loyal Yankees fan.
Now I am so excited for Friday's game where the Yankees face the Bluejays, who swept the Boston Red Sox. I feel that the Yankees have a very good chance in clinching the Eastern Division because of their clutch relievers. As long as they continue to play well without any serious injuries to the Yankees star players then we have a chance of being in the World Series. Also I hope that Alex Rodriguez wins the MVP title because he has over fifty homeruns and more than a hundred and forty RBI's. Now you know we will see him among the greatest baseball players in the MLB history.
