Aaron Boone, New York Have The Same Goal Despite The Shorter Season In 2020

The Major League Baseball season is normally 162 games.

In 2020 however that isn’t the case.

Why?

Because of the Corona Virus that is effecting us in the United States and around the world.

However,

The plan is to have a season.

But instead of a 162 game regular season they will have a 60 game regular season.“according to an article by Jeff Passan on espn.com

Despite the shortened season Aaron Boone and the team that wears pinstripes have the same goal.

What goal is that?

To bring another World Series Championship to the Bronx.

There last World Series win came eleven years ago in 2009 when they defeated Philadelphia in six games. “according to https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2009_WS.shtml

During the off-season the team that wears pinstripes signed a right handed pitcher that can possibly help New York get over the hump.

Who is that ?

Gerrit Cole who was drafted in 2008 out of Orange Lutheran High School in California by the team that wears the pinstripes but he decided to instead go to the University Of Southern California before eventually being drafted by Pittsburgh as the top pick in 2011 draft where he spent five seasons before he went to Houston for two seasons starting in 2018 where the right handed pitcher finished with a record of 15-5 with a 2.88 earn run average and a record of 20-5 with a 2.50 earn run average and along way took of the care of the team in pinstripes. When? In the American League Championship Series in 2019. In that game he threw seven scoreless innings. “according to an article by Pete Caldera of north jersey.com

With Gerrit Cole now in pinstripes after signing a $324 million dollar deal for nine years during the off season to play for the team he grew up rooting for and the team that wears the pinstripes it’s World Series or bust for New York.
