Amidst the euphoria and celebration in the home locker room, following a crucial victory, José Caballero, Yankees player, proudly wore the champion’s belt, a recognition to the Player of the Match after each New York triumph.Gentleman, who joined the team at the trade deadline to provide versatility off the bench, fulfilled his mission perfectly. Entering as a pinch runner, he connected on a run-producing single with two outs in the ninth inning, securing the 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.This triumph not only sealed the Yankees’ 60th postseason berth, but also brought them closer to the top of the American League East Division.
