Good morning, my fellow Sports fans! It’s Davey Mac here and today…like that song from the ’80’s said…I’m walkin’ on sunshine!
And that’s because the Yankees have won their series against the Cleveland Guardians and now it’s on to Houston to face the Astros for the American League pennant.
And, man, was that a nail-biting but fantastic series. Up and down…back and forth…insane emotions the entire time. When your team is up you feel like you’re “King Of The World: like Leo DiCaprio in Titanic…and when your squad is up it’s as if you’ve collided with an iceberg.
But that’s Sports. That’s what we love about it. Things can’t feel good if you don’t through a little pain and misery. As long as your team come out on top in the end.
And that’s what the Yankees have done for me tonight. The sky is a little brighter. The water is a little clearer. Life is good. The Yankees have won.
Scroll down for photos from the celebration…and go Yankees! Crush the Astros! I’m Davey Mac…that’s just my two cents!
