Los Angeles was ready to party on Wednesday night. After the Dodgers won their second World Series in five years with a thrilling 7-6 Game 5 win over the Yankees on the East Coast, the city on the other side of the country went nuts — with fireworks being shot off and fans taking to the streets.

This week, Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper won his fourth career Silver Slugger Award, given to one player in each league voted on as the best offensive player at his position.

Aaron Boone doesn’t expect to ever get over how the 2024 World Series ended. “The sting of not finishing it off stays with you forever,’’ Boone said of the Yankees’ loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, capped by the misery of Game 5 in the Bronx.

The New York Yankees are coming off their first World Series appearance since 2009. Although they lost the series to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Yankees are back to their winning ways as they won the American League East by three games over the Baltimore Orioles.

Aaron Boone expresses no urgency to fix the New York Yankees' fundamental problems, proving why they lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
