Cheer for New York Citys sports teams with Yankees, Mets and Liberty all in postseason play

A trifecta of New York City sports clubs — Mets, Yankees and Liberty — are beginning simultaneous postseason championship drives.It’s another magical time for Big Apple sports fans and everyday New Yorkers to come together in support of our hometown heroes.The three-team run are welcome distractions from our divisive national politics, the swirl of scandal surrounding City Hall and a potentially crippling dockworkers strike.On Saturday, slugger Aaron Judge and the Yankees, the American League’s top-seed, will face the winner of the AL wild-card series between the Orioles and Royals.The Bronx Bombers finished with the best record in the AL — Judge pounded a league-best 58 homers — giving them home-field advantage through the playoffs.The Mets, meanwhile, notched a wild-card berth on Monday and to begin their journey to the World Series.Their MVP candidate Francisco Lindor’s sensational go-ahead, two-run home run on Monday in Atlanta powered the “Amazins” into the postseason.And the New York Liberty, led by All-Stars Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, are looking to dethrone the defending WNBA champs, the Las Vegas Aces, in a best-of-five series.Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
