00:00You know what happened here of course, Stanton hit the two run homer to get this game 2-2.

00:12Game goes to extras, both teams seemingly running out of decent arms and then Juan Soto

00:19getting involved against Gattis and by the way every reliever on Cleveland is just the

00:24best guy in the world if you were listening to all these broadcasts the last few days

00:27but it didn't matter because Soto took care of Gattis on Saturday night.

00:32Here it is WFAN in New York.

00:34The one-two, swung on a high fly to center.

00:38Back goes Thomas on the track, he's at the wall and she's gone!

00:43A three run home run, the Yankee bench comes on the field.

00:48Wow!

00:49What a Soto photo!

00:51A long high, high fly to deep right center and out!

00:58He's wonderful, marvelous, a three run blast by Soto with two outs here in the 10th and

01:08the Yankees now take a 5-2 lead and they're three outs away from going to the World Series.

01:15I'll tell you what, that was entertaining and everything but it wasn't nearly that week

01:21of a call with Bryan Anderson.

01:24I mean he knew right when he hit it, he was like, this ball is deep, this ball is gone

01:31and the guy that did the best call, I don't think I sent it to you, it was the Spanish

01:35guy that they use.

01:36Oh, Ricky Ricardo.

01:38Ricky Ricardo was the greatest call ever.

01:40I didn't understand a word of it but it was, and I took five years of Spanish, I slept

01:45with my Spanish teacher at Indiana University to get a C-.

01:48I just wanted to say, are we on the air?

01:50Don't talk about bang, wait, what?

01:52No.

01:53All right, so Ricky Ricardo's call of it was sensational but I thought Sterling, as usual,

01:58loses it in the lights.

01:59Is there a high, pop, foul?

02:00He really didn't have a lot of gas behind him.

02:04Yeah, no gas.

02:05They got to send him packing.

02:07Are they really going to send him to Los Angeles?

02:10He's marvelous.

02:12He's giving you like the show tunes.

02:15John, come on.

02:16He's so wonderful.

02:17Now look, that is by far, and John's done a lot of homerun calls for a lot of guys in

02:22the last 50 years, that's, the Soto one is not good.

02:26Now you can't get, it's hard, you can't recreate the magic of burn, baby, burn or you know

02:32any of that, like that stuff, he just doesn't have it with Soto.

02:35Soto he doesn't have.

02:36Whatever.

02:37That's it.

02:38The same with that.

02:39That was weak.

02:40The Soto three run homer sends the Yankees to the World Series on Saturday night.

02:45They go back for the first time since 2009, when they of course won that year.

02:51Aaron Boone has had, he's knocked on the door, this was his third crack at trying to get

02:56to the World Series in the ALCS, finally does it.

03:00So proud of this team.

03:01So proud.

03:02What does it feel like?

03:03It's amazing.

03:05It really is.

03:08You know, you pour so much into it, right?

03:13All year.

03:14Not just, not just the baseball season.

03:16It doesn't stop in the winter and the spring and you know, you pour so much into it.

03:22And I couldn't be more proud to do it with this organization.

03:25You know, the Steinbrenner family has been amazing to me.

03:30Getting to work with Brian Cashman, who's been amazing to me and all his front office.

03:34And then the guys I get to go to work with every day.

03:37My coaches and these players.

03:40That's why you do it.

03:42And this is a, we've had some great groups, some great camaraderies, some great clubhouses.

03:47This group is as close as I've ever seen.

03:51And they trust each other, they lean on each other, they love each other.

03:55They play for each other.

03:57And those are special things to have in a team sport.

04:04There's nothing like having our team in the World Series.

04:06There really isn't.

04:07And you know, the Evil Empire, it's so awesome that they're back.

04:13And you know, I've loved them my whole life.

04:17Even when I was a little kid, I just thought, you know, Reggie Jackson and I mean, it went

04:22on and on.

04:23Dave Winfield, Gossage, you know, Guidry.

04:29So many of them.

04:30I could just sit here and go on.

04:32We've talked about Mickey Rivers.

04:34There's been so many Chambliss.

04:36There's been so many guys, Munson.

04:38It just goes on and on and on and on.

04:41And you can love a team like that.

04:43Like I like George Brett.

04:45I always loved the Yankees and I love the Pirates.

04:47It's that simple.

04:49And it's fair to do that.

04:50I have no problem doing that.

04:52I have a National League team.

04:53I have an American League team.

04:54I've lived in New York for almost 30 years.

04:57And I've gone to Yankee Stadium 5 million times.

05:00And I've been a part of a lot of their championship seasons.

05:04And it's just great having them in it.

05:06It's just great that our team's in it and Mavia's isn't.
