The MLB team of my youth (that would be the New York Yankees) now owns the best record in the American League, poised to have homefield advantage in the upcoming playoffs.

It’s a bit disappointing, seeing as though the Bronx Bombers this year have actually played better on the road, doing their bombing away from the Bronx as it were.

No other playoff contender can boast this odd discrepancy, an anomaly that may bode well in series to come.
