Just when things were going great for the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series, they hit the self-destruct button in the worst possible way.
The Yankees turned a 5-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday into a tied 5-5 ballgame in the blink of an eye. It was all thanks to some very embarrassing Larry, Moe and Curly defense by the Yankees in the top of the fifth inning.
The trouble began when Yankees star Aaron Judge botched a routine fly ball to center field by Dodgers infielder Tommy Edman with a runner on first and nobody out. Judge jogged in nonchalantly and got under the ball … but just booted it. The ball glanced off his glove and dropped in the outfield grass, resulting in first and second with no one out for the Dodgers.
