Finally, the New York Yankees’ incredibly, impossibly long wait is over.
Since 2022, every MLB team had a walk-off home run, except for the Bronx Bombers. They’ve got brilliant home run hitters, but they’d gone more than two full seasons worth of games without ending one on a round-tripper.
Jasson Dominguez snapped that crazy drought with one swing.
He got a hanging slider, and he didn’t miss it.
The switch-hitting rising star, batting from the left side, clobbered the ball deep into the right field night at Yankee Stadium.
Talk about a beautiful sight.

The last time the Yankees walked off a game with a homer? Sept. 20, 2022.
On that night, Aaron Judge hit his 60th homer midway through the game, then Giancarlo Stanton called game with the final swing.
Since then, the Yanks have hit more than 500 homers as a team. None had ended a game.
Finally, though, Dominguez is the one to end it. One of baseball’s rising stars, he’s had an up and down first season as a full-time starter.
But this is the biggest swing of his career, and it’s a streak snapper.
During that 2022 season, the Yankees hit a remarkable seven walk-off home runs.
Maybe now that the drought is over, a flood is coming.
