Well, it starts in March & goes into the Fall, so it's played in different seasons of course. Just because weather can be warm in 1 place doesn't mean that it can't rain at the same time as well. From what I know of weather in New York, it tends to rain there. They get 47 inches of rain per year. That's 4 more inches than Portland does, which is the closest large city to me. I will say that having less games in the MLB regular season could perhaps help out in this regard.
What a game that was yesterday & some key numbers for a few of the Yankees batters in yesterday's game. Lemahiew, Judge, Torres, Hicks, & Encarnacion went a combined 3-21 at the plate. Those were batters 1, 2, 3, 4, &, 5 in the Yankees lineup. Of course the Yankees also couldn't hit with runners in scoring position.
Jose Altuve, Luis Gonzales, Edgar Martinez, & Bill Mazerosky from in the 1960 World Series are the only people to have a walk-off playoff series hit vs. the Yankees. I do remember the 1 in 2001 by Luis Gonzales & was a child when Edgar Martinez hit his, but Bill Mazerosky was before my time.
I'm excited to see this World Series. I hope that it's competitive. If you're a Yankees fan, well look to them having plenty of roster moves next year. Didi Gregorius of note is I'd guess at this point be playing with a different team. Gardiner perhaps also.
