While all the other championship series teams have been fixed, the final, and much-awaited game of the Division Series between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians is yet to reach a result. And with one postponed game already, the recent history of unpredictable NYC weather has only continued to annoy fans further.
However, it wasn’t only the fans who grew restless awaiting the game to begin. Two Guardians outfielders, Will Brennan and Myles Straw reached the covered ballpark and started engaging with the frustrated Yankee crowd through a football.

While some fans believed that this was just a medium to get on the friendly side of hostile Yankee fans, others looked at this as a heartwarming display to entertain the crowd on a rather dull night. Some other fans simply compared the Guardians playing football to the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
This is how fans reacted to this wholesome gesture by the Guardians’ Myles Straw and Will Brennan.
Broncos country let’s watch ALDS Game 5

Ya gotta love how, despite the player being a visitor in a do-or-die playoff game, they can have some wholesome fun with the fans.

Tonight I’m going to be at an event hanging out with NFL players and pretending to play football while checking the Yankees/Guardians live Game feed every five minutes to see how that is going.

Notably, after the decider game five got suspended due to bad weather, the New York Yankees will take on Cleveland Guardians tonight at Yankee Stadium.
Who will fill the remaining Championship Series slot?
The National League Division Series witnessed a pair of surprising results with the qualification of San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies, who defeated the reigning NLCS pair, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers. Therefore, the National League will house an underdog World Series appearance through either the Padres or the Phils.
