"Great job, Lin. You did well today—now go get some rest, we're counting on your performance for the upcoming games!"
On the Yankees side, as Lin Guanglai was replaced after starting as the pitcher and shutting out the Dodgers' lineup, while also hitting a two-run homer off Kershaw, Joe Girardi greeted him outside the player area, firmly patting his back with an expression full of admiration.
Inside the player area, a large group of Yankees players were also enthusiastic, rushing forward to high-five and chest-bump Lin Guanglai, expressing their joy in this manner—
It's no joke, this is the World Series! So many players worthy of the Hall of Fame end their careers without ever touching the ground here, but now they're just one step away from victory—how can the Yankees players not be thrilled?
