'Pundits once hailed this Yankees club as the greatest in its storied history. The Astros arrived around midseason and made a mockery of them.'
A tarp is seen on the field at Yankee Stadium as light rain falls before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022, in New York.NEW YORK — Houston’s homogeneity is the envy of an entire league. The franchise sheds a superstar each winter and still enjoys the same fate every fall. Scandal threatened to scar the Astros but only strengthened their resolve.
Only weather could delay the declaration of the American League’s newest dynasty. This group of Astros bears nearly no resemblance to their recent brethren but finds itself with the same opportunity all of them shared. Houston finished a four-game evisceration of the New York Yankees with a 6-5 win Sunday, capturing its fourth pennant in six seasons.
Gleyber Torres tested the theory in the seventh. He fielded Jeremy Peña’s one-out ground ball, turned toward second and threw it into left field. Jose Altuve stood safely in scoring position. Peña sprinted through first, forcing reliever Jonathan Loáisiga to face a man he never should have. Pundits once hailed this Yankees club as the greatest in its storied history. The Astros arrived around midseason and made a mockery of them. Two Aaron Judge walk-offs spared New York from a four-game June sweep. The Yankees did not throw a pitch with a lead in that series, instilling a foreign feeling inside the Bronx. Intimidation is king in this city.
