New York is hoping to make history, World Series history to be exact
The Yankees got the job done in Game 4 of the World Series as they hope to make shocking history.
New York beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday in a matchup filled with plenty of drama before the game and during it involving two fans and Mookie Betts at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees know they’re playing with house money, which is why they aren’t feeling the pressure of being down 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.
“I still think we can shock the world,” Jazz Chisholm Jr. told reporters, per FOX Sports. “The one thing about us is we love history, and we love to make history. For us, we’re out here trying to make history right now. We know it’s never been done, a 3-0 comeback. But we feel like we’re the team that can do it.”
Eagle-eyed Boston Red Sox fans might raise their eyebrows at Chisholm’s line. And franchise legend David Ortiz made sure to call it out.
“Did he say it’s never been done?” Ortiz asked on the FOX postgame show.
“World Series. Never been done in the World Series,” Kevin Burkhardt told Ortiz. “We know you did it. We’ve praised you for that.”
Ortiz cracked up at Burkhardt’s last comment, and Alex Rodriguez joked that there have been four documentaries about the 2004 American League Championship Series. Ortiz still couldn’t help but find another way to rattle Rodriguez and Derek Jeter on the FOX postgame show.
