While before dealing straightaway with the day off, he calmly acknowledged his team’s effort during this time. See, August and September have been a bumpy road for the Bronx Bombers, but this week was different! And what could be the reason? Well, according to Boone, that’s all because his team knows every day is different regardless of what happened yesterday. He kept it very simple, saying this can happen, and, “You gotta be strong-minded and have that focus.” Indeed, the hard work was seen on the field!

If the team hadn’t stayed strong and overcome their loss on Saturday, they might not have played so spectacularly. But they turned things around, clinching not just the game but the series with a 5-2 victory on Sunday. The players were on fire too, with Carlos Rodon snagging his 15th win of the season. And how can we forget the New York Yankees’ captain, Aaron Judge’s monster 53rd home run! However, their win over the Sox wasn’t the only thing making their week successful; there was more to it!
They also clinched another series with one of their rivals! And that was against the KC Royals! Where they also won fair and square with 4-2! So, 7 days of continuous games and two series victories; that’s a bag full! And because of all this, Aaron Boone said, “There’s no question, anytime you’re going into the off day, a long flight. You know that one, sure. Feels good.” We’re all hoping this break is just what they need because even after clinching their victory over two tough rivals, they have a lot waiting to face the Bronx in line.
