Before the game began, James took advantage of his status to go to the sidelines, interacting and taking photos with the Yankees players; as one of the current main stars of the Yankees and a Nike partner, Lin Guanglai naturally introduced himself to James.
Although Lin himself doesn't pay much attention to basketball, James' name is often mentioned by others: from any angle, this highly controversial star is certainly a prominent figure in North American sports.
If LeBron James came to Progress Field today hoping to see his beloved New York Yankees secure a victory, he is likely to be disappointed:
Frankner's decision to deploy Trevor Bauer as the surprise weapon paid off brilliantly. Bauer started 6.1 innings, striking out 8 Yankees batters, completely shutting down their lineup;
In contrast, Yankees' starting pitcher Luis Severino, who is almost Cy Young-level, only pitched 3.1 innings, delivering 2 strikeouts, 4 walks, and allowing 3 runs before leaving the mound.
