The season's first Subway Series between the New York Yankees and New York Mets was unsurprisingly centered on one player: Juan Soto.

Although Soto said he was ready for the homecoming, he was shell-shocked by the time Sunday night rolled around. Three sell-out crowds broke him. With only one hit in the Subway Series, Soto couldn’t have picked a worse time to slump. The army of Yankees loyalists crowned him as the new Jose Altuve.

Not only are the New York Knicks appearing in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a quarter century, but the New York Yankees (27-19) and New York Mets (29-18) — both leading their respective divisions — just wrapped up a contentious Subway Series over the weekend.
