MLB | Do-Hyoung Park: Anthony Volpe’s Game 4 Grand Slam was more than the hit that kept the Yankees alive another day. It was also the Yankees’ first World Series slam since Tino Martinez’s electrifying Game 1 bomb in the 1998 World Series, as well as the sixth grand slam of the 2024 playoffs, a postseason record. The most recent, of course, was Freddie Freeman breaking the Yankees’ back in Game 1, so Volpe’s hit also wiped some bad taste out of the fandom’s collective mouth.

WFAN | Ryan Chichester: If nothing else, the Yankees’ win in Game 4 made us all dream a little. As Ryan points out, the Yanks have Gerrit Cole ready for Game 5, and while anything can happen in an elimination game, it’s not hard to imagine the top seed sending this series back to LA on Friday night for a Game 6. And if Carlos Rodón can limit the dingers to what he did earlier in the play-offs, then you never know what could happen next!

ABC News | Katie Kindelan and Chris Cirillo: Seventy-six years ago, eight-year-old Joe Baal went to his first Yankees game. Last night, his daughter Jaymie won Top Daughter by surprising the now 84-year-old Joe with tickets to his first-ever World Series game. Baal, who had long since retired as a firefighter and moved to Florida, returned to New York in the aftermath of September 11 to support the city’s recovery. He spent the next nearly twenty years involved with the FDNY. Fantastic story.

New York Post | Michael Blinn: Game 4 didn’t start well for the Yankees and their fans. After falling behind in the top of the first inning, Gleyber Torres threw a ball down the right field line into foul territory, leading to home half. A pair of fans decided to actually attack Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts, with one holding Betts’ wrist while the other pried open the outfielder’s glove and yanked the ball out. Torres was ejected due to fan interference and our two geniuses were escorted out of Yankee Stadium. Womp womp.
