If there is a team that exemplifies resilience, it is the New York Yankees. Led by Aaron Judge, the Yankees triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3, reigniting their American League Championship Series hopes.

The Yankees were in a similar position against the Boston Red Sox in the previous round, losing the first game before rallying to win the series 2-1. Now, facing the Blue Jays, the anticipation is high for the Bronx Bombers to even the series.

After the game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider was questioned about Judge’s game-changing home run, which left the park at 100 MPH. “Hopefully he gets a bad night’s sleep and has some bad food tonight or something like that. Give him credit, man, that was a ridiculous swing,” Schneider said with a touch of humor to the media.
