As we sit just hours before first pitch of the first game of the Yankees’ Division Series matchup against the Cleveland Guardians, the sense of anticipation is building. The Bronx can’t wait to host its first playoff game since before the beginning of the pandemic. Two other postseason runs have happened since then, but the first took place at a neutral site in San Diego and the second was a one-game dud at Fenway Park. The last playoff highlights at Yankee Stadium involved James Paxton shoving and a ballpark-shaking homer by Aaron Hicks; in short, that feels like a lifetime ago.
