Boone serves as a font of optimism about his team. "I feel like we're going to look up in a couple of years and see a really, really strong offensive player," Boone said about Volpe. His confidence may have come across as hollow before the game, but it was proven justified when Volpe hit a grand slam in the third inning, marking a pivotal moment in the series and showing a glimpse at his potential for the future.
As Volpe hit his grand slam, the Yankees responded to adversity for the first time in the World Series, leading the game for the first time since Game 1. Boone’s faith in Volpe’s development seemed validated in that moment, which rallied the bullpen and ultimately contributed to the Yankees avoiding a sweep. This historic performance showcased not only Volpe's talent but also the team's resilience under pressure.
