One year after their run ended a victory shy of advancing to the World Series, the Yankees are officially getting another crack at the title, popping corks in celebration after punching their ticket into the American League Wild Card Game.

Momentarily hobbled after smashing a foul ball off his left ankle, Aaron Hicks squinted through the pain and returned to the batter’s box, lashing a line-drive double that chased home Didi Gregorius with the winning run in New York’s 3-2, 11-inning victory over the Orioles on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
