One Soto stirred up talk again after the Dominican Republic's big win in the World Baseball

Classic.

In a post-game interview, he called his two most fun seasons, 1919 and 2024, skipping

over his 2025 year with the Mets.

That got fans buzzing about whether he really misses his days with the Yankees.

Soto sealed the 12-1 victory over the Netherlands with a 408-foot homer in the 7th inning.

It triggered the mercy rule and improved the Dominican team's record to 2-0 in their pool.

He praised the current squad but stuck to those past standout years.

Social media lit up fast.

With Yankees fans claiming Soto is still not over the Bronx.

They pointed out his 1919 World Series title with Washington and the 2024 run with New York.

That's fans shrugged it off, focusing on his massive blast instead.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone laughed it off during spring training.

He said he loved Soto as a former teammate and their bond remained strong.

Boone added that the Mets must be thrilled with him now and wished him the best.

Back in 2024, Soto and Aaron Judge formed a scary duo that powered the Yankees to the

World Series.

Soto set career highs and drew 129 walks, putting constant pressure on pictures before

Judge came up.
