I'm 74. Seen the Yanks win alot. This was special. He's a Yankee now to me whether he leaves or not.

What amazes me about this Yankees team: no jealousy. Everyone pulling for each other. Soto, Judge, Stanton, everyone. All season long. Great to see!

UK fan here! Admired the Yankees from afar ever since I was a child and stumbled across an old book detailing sporting records. Took me a long, long time to see them play but when I finally reached Yankee Stadium in 2007 and saw that beautiful green grass and brown infield, I cried. Was there at the last game in the "old" stadium in 2008 and been to the new one five times over the years. I'm so happy they've made it back to the World Series as 2009 seems so long ago. Let's Go Yankees!

If you are not emotional 🥺 today, then you are not a real Yankees fan. Man 15 years, many of us were kids back then. And now, grown men ... watching our big love playing at the World Series and all of a sudden becoming little kids again !!! ❤ Let's freaking 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I grew up in the Derek Jeter era and was spoiled at how many championships and WS appearances the Yankees had lol. Its been a long while but the Yanks are back!!!

People hating on Judge saying he got carried as if he isn't the reason they're in the post season. Players struggle it's part of the journey, it happens. Also I know Jazz hasn't been contributing with hits but his fielding has been superb. I hope everyone steps up in a big way this World Series. Let's Go Yankees 🗽⚾️

I was 16 in 2009. Tonight was special. First time in my Yankee adult life and I cried.

The Soto at-bat is majestic. The call is brilliant. More from these two guys.

My grandfather was born in 1927 and he along with my grandmother passed away from covid in March 2020. He was a lifelong New Yorker and Yankees fan. He saw almost every era of Yankees baseball from Lou Gehrig to Joe DiMaggio to Mickey Mantle to Don Mattingly to Mariano Rivera to Derek Jeter to Aaron Judge. This one is for you Papi!! LET'S GO WIN THE CHIP!!

15 years man… i was 11 and still have the ball Joba Chamberlin gave me. Give Soto the blank check and lets win it all

[portiawilliams]

Cleveland Guardians fans have to wake up tomorrow morning and watch Deshaun Watson play QB for the Cleveland Browns.

[JacksonLawrence-ct]

Something about postseason baseball just makes it the best playoffs in sports I love it.

[TheBigPenguinFN]

As a Yankee fan, after last season this was definitely something special.
