"The Yankees are now 7-0 since Derek Jeter joined Twitter" "Best in the league and it ain’t even close" - New York Yankees fans relish 40th win of the season; credit The Captain for the streak

The New York Yankees have been one of the best teams in the MLB all season, and now, as they are the first team to reach the 40-win mark, doing so while on a seven-game winning streak, fans of the team are taking a well-earned victory lap. While the team is consistently a powerhouse, many fans in New York expected the American League East battle with the Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, and Boston Red Sox to be much more tightly contested than it has been so far.

Behind the MVP caliber play of Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees have established themselves as the team to beat in all of baseball. For fans of the team, this season has gone about as well as they could have hoped.

This fan gives credit for the seven-game win streak to New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter, who has not seen a loss by his former team since joining Twitter.
