The New York Yankees head into Game 3 of the World Series already down two games to none against the Los Angeles Dodgers, making Monday night at Yankee Stadium a must-have to get back into the series. 

Some fans may be praying for the Yankees to notch a win in the Fall Classic, and they might have been at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan during Sunday mass doing so at the direction of New York Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan. 

Dolan was at the famous cathedral where he closed his mass by saying Monday marked the Fest of St. Jude, who just so happens to be "the patron saint of impossible causes."

Dolan, then, was joking a bit when he told his parish to head back to St. Jude’s shrine for the Yankees. 

"His shrine is in the very back there if you want to light a candle for the Yankees — because it’s not looking too good," Dolan said, per the New York Post.
