Aaron Boone, the coach of the New York Yankees, believes that the Yankees have a chance to be the table-toppers this season. Notably, Boone was appointed the manager of the Yankees back in 2017. The Yankees have played five matches in the 2022 Spring Training so far, in preparations for the season ahead.

The New York Yankees are one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball. They have won 40 American League pennants and 27 World Series titles. The last World Series title won by the Yankees was in 2009 against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Hence, since his appointment, Aaron Boone has had a dream of reviving the once-glorious New York Yankees and bringing them back to where they belong. Will that dream turn into reality this season?
