The Yankees forced Game 5 vs. the Dodgers not because of Juan Soto, Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton. It was the Baby Bombers who came through in the most important game of their careers.
NEW YORK — The bigger the spotlight on his individual efforts, the softer Anthony Volpe's voice gets. When the Yankees shortstop is asked about his performance in a given game, he tends to brush off the magnitude of his heroics before redirecting the spotlight onto his teammates. That's how it went late Tuesday night, moments after he hit a grand slam for his first career playoff home run and was brought into the Yankees press conference room to discuss it.
But to do it together, you can't trade it for anything.' The Yankees catcher echoed Volpe's sentiment, and added that it was clear to him as soon as he got to know the shortstop in the Yankees' minor-league system that they had the same goals of being able to contribute to a historic franchise. Neither of them wanted to be superstars, per se. They just wanted to help the Yankees win another title, even if all they provided were modest contributions.
