The?New York Yankees are on the cusp of doing what everyone expected when the season started, and no one did at its halfway point. They are hot in pursuit of clinching an AL Wild Card Spot and finding their way into the postseason for the 2023 season. The Bronx fans are pulling out all the stops for the marauding Yankees to make it into contention for another pennant even as they practice. One instance in particular caught the eye of several netizens.

With 76 wins in the season, The Bronx Bombers are as close to a losing record as they potentially are to a berth in the playoffs. While one gives them a shot at glory, the other is a fear of breaking a 30-year-long streak of not ending a season with a losing record. But The Yankees fans have reconciled with outcomes from either scenario. They are choosing instead to have some fun with their players especially the captain Aaron Judge while they can.
