Game around the world
Even before the Yankees lost Game 3, manager Aaron Boone had ruled out bringing back staff ace Gerrit Cole on short rest. Cole only threw 88 pitches in a terrific Game 1 outing, but he dealt with a right elbow issue that delayed his start to the season, and the Yankees don’t want to press him.< 5 years married /p>
“No one’s done what we’re trying to accomplish ,” said catcher Austin Wells, “so I think if you put too much pressure on it at this point, you’re going to fail yourself, and you’re not going to enjoy the journey. I think seeing what happens and having fun is where we’re at.”
“For years as a kid watching the Yankees playing the World Series, won the World Series, just that excitement, the emotion how the city comes alive is something definitely special and looking forward to doing that with this group.”

The 2024 World Series will pit the two best teams from their respective leagues and the shoe-ins for league MVPs against each other; the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are storied franchises with championship pedigrees and an East Coast versus West Coast vibe will permeate the best-of-seven series clash for the title.
When is game 5 of the world series
The Yankees used their top bullpen arms on Tuesday to hold on to their lead, and while they’ll be available if needed on Wednesday – this is an elimination game – it’s asking a lot to expect them to shut down the Dodgers again. This is Cole’s game as long as he can take it. It’s on his shoulders. This is why he’s here.
• Freeman won well-deserved World Series MVP honors, with four homers, 12 RBIs and a .300 average. He’s the 12th player to win a league MVP and World Series MVP in his career, and to say the list is good company is an understatement. He joins Johnny Bench, Roberto Clemente, Rollie Fingers, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Sandy Koufax, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt and Willie Stargell. That’s 10 Hall of Famers and the all-time hits leader.
• Teams are now 7-227 when trailing by at least five runs in World Series games and 20-624 in postseason history when trailing by at least five. The other World Series comebacks from five down, aside from the Dodgers: The Phillies in 2022 Game 1, Angels in 2002 Game 6, Yankees in 1996 Game 4, Blue Jays in 1993 Game 4, Dodgers in 1956 Game 2 and A’s in 1929 Game 4.

Longest game world series
Only eight games since 1908 have lasted more than seven hours, if you can believe that. Game 3 was the first seven-hour game since the Phillies and Diamondbacks played seven hours and six minutes on August 24, 2013. That game went 18 innings as well.
During this seven-year period, only three teams won the World Series: the Oakland Athletics from 1972 to 1974, Cincinnati Reds in 1975 and 1976, and New York Yankees in 1977 and 1978. This is the only time in World Series history in which three teams have won consecutive series in succession. This period was book-ended by World Championships for the Pittsburgh Pirates, in 1971 and 1979, who defeated the Baltimore Orioles both times.
In 2005, the Braves and Astros went late into the day in the NLDS. This game also ended on a home run; Chris Burke homered off Joey Devine in the bottom of the 18th to give the Astros a 7-6 win and send Houston to the NLCS. The 5-hour, 50-minute clash was the third-longest by time.
