The New York Yankees understand that baseball is more than just a game. It brings people together in ways that not everything can. While teams battle it out on the field, there are far more important things to do. The Yankees, by honoring ALS patient Sarah Langs, have shown a deep understanding of that.
ALS is a disease that has a unique and unfortunate connection to baseball. It is often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease because it was a very high profile patient and one that eventually took his life.
The Yankees’ team, Gehrig’s team, hosts a fundraiser for Sarah Lang, an ALS patient. All proceeds will go to ALS research.

Yankees fans are happy to see this. They may have disagreements about team status, management, and everything in between, but they can all agree that this is a welcome sight.
The Yankees may not be doing everything right on the baseball field, but they are determined to make an impact from it.
New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles
The New York Yankees experienced a brief rain delay before the start of the second game of their four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles. They opened the scoring with two home runs before extending the lead to three.
Then, longtime Yankee player Aaron Hicks who was DFA’d this season hit a home run, followed by a double and another home run to tie the game again in the fifth inning.
This comes after Harrison Bader’s home win last night. This is a big series for both teams who trail the Tampa Bay Rays in the standings. The Yankees like to sweep and get closer to the top and the Orioles like to send the Yankees down in the basement.
