Yankees Eliminated After Trump Told Them, ‘You’re Gonna Go All the Way’

The New York Yankees’ season ended on Wednesday night in the American League Divisional Series, less than a month after President Donald Trump told them that they would “go all the way.”

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Yankees 5-2 and took the series 3-1 to advance to the American League Championship Series, where they will face either the Detroit Tigers or the Seattle Mariners.

Trump was on hand at Yankee Stadium less than a month ago for the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. During his visit, he addressed the home team’s players in their clubhouse.

“George Steinbrenner was a great friend of mine,” Trump told the team at the time, referring to the Yankees’ late owner. “The whole family, it’s a great family… And I will say, you’re gonna win. George used to go, for some reason, I don’t know what it was, we won every time I came… Every time we came, we’d win a game. And he’d call me. You think that was easy, sitting with him for a game, it wasn’t. It was brutal. You were exhausted at the end, but he won. And you’re gonna win. You’re gonna go all the way. And you’ll get in the playoff, and I think we’ll start — how about tonight? We’ll start from tonight on, and you’re gonna do well.”

During that game on Sept. 11, Trump was introduced by the Yankees’ public address announcer and received a very mixed response from the crowd.

The Yankees have not won a World Series since 2009. They appeared in last year’s Fall Classic, but fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games after imploding on defense and squandering a 5-0 lead in Game 5.
