It has been over two weeks since baseball came back into action. However, things were not going in favor of the New York Yankees, as until today, as they are yet to show their potential in the ongoing Spring Training games. The Yanks were having a winless streak going on, causing anger among fans.

However, a ray of hope came and changed things in the team’s favor. In a recent Spring Training game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Bronx Bombers not only won, but they dominated the Jays throughout the game. The win hadn’t come easily, and to the fans’ dismay, this game wasn’t televised when the Yanks won. Therefore, the fanbase had a hard time believing when the team’s official Twitter handle let its fans know about the team’s win and of five home runs in the game.

Most fans were asking for proof before believing that the team won against the Jays. Whereas a couple of them believed but warned the team to ensure the game gets televised. Meanwhile, there is one who thinks that the team won only because the game wasn’t televised. Hence, asking the management never to televise a game again.
