This is easily the best day of the year for any Yankees fan. Yes, they beat the Red Sox in a 15-inning game at the new Yankee Stadium in walk-off fashion, but not only that, it was the fifth straight victory for the Yankees to give them the best record in all of baseball.
| Team | Record | Games Behind |
| Yankees | 67-42 | -- |
| Dodgers | 67-43 | .5 |
| Angels | 64-43 | 2 |
| Red Sox | 62-46 | 4.5 |
| Phillies | 61-46 | 5 |
Could anything be better?
