Guardians Manager Stephen Vogt Celebrates Historic Postseason Clinch After Remarkable Turnaround

Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt, who stated in early July amidst a 10-game losing streak that a turnaround was imminent, acknowledged he "sold his team a little short" as they completed one of baseball's biggest comebacks. The Guardians clinched a postseason spot in improbable fashion with a walk-off hit by pitch. A champagne-soaked Vogt expressed immense pride in his team, stating, "It’s exactly us. Of course we’re going to get in on a walk-off hit by pitch... Just to stop and think about where we came from to get here, there’s no words. I couldn’t be more proud of these guys. They’ve earned every bit of this." Cleveland president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti credited Vogt and the team for climbing a "really hard mountain."
