A crowd of 42,000 fans stood into the chill of the night in the Bronx to view the Yankees beat the Angels. Veteran player, Brett Gardner was the stars of the night along with Clint Frazier, Cameron Maybin, and DJ LeMahieu.
After the game, the players drenched themselves and reporters with champagne. This is the first time since 2012 that the Yankees have won first place in the American League's Eastern Division. The Yankees ended the berth with 100 wins and 53 losses and are in a tie with the Astros.
Now the Bronx Bombers will be heading to the American League Division series to begin the quest for number 28.
