It was 1 p.m. Wednesday when Jacquelyn Teel was able to send her three sons a text she never expected.
“I texted the guys, I knew they were in school, and I was like, ‘Guys, we’re going to the World Series.’ I couldn’t believe it,” Teel told The Post between innings on Wednesday evening.
Teel is the mother of 15-year-old Calvin Young, who is battling childhood cancer and was given front row tickets on the right field line at Yankee Stadium by the team after banning previous buyers of the seats for ripping a ball out of Mookie Betts’ glove at game 4.

The plan to invite Young and his family — his mother and brothers Trevor and Everett — came together just hours before the first pitch in The Bronx and helped turn an unfortunate story into a heartwarming one.
Young, a native of Bergenfield, New Jersey, called it “fun” and “really awesome” when he spoke to The Post near his seats along the right field line.
“Just being able to see a couple of home runs in the first couple of innings,” Young said of his favorite moments of the night, which ended in a heartbreaking 7-6 Yankees loss.
“It feels more special (as important as this game is) than just getting to a World Series. It’s fun because of the nature of it. It’s much better than I thought it would be.”

Young was diagnosed with DSRCT sarcoma in June 2023, which turned the family’s world upside down.
Young is undergoing treatment as a patient on Memorial Sloan Kettering’s pediatric sarcoma team.
The 15-year-old was originally scheduled to participate in a “Kids Only” press conference at Yankee Stadium on September 13 as part of a group of 80 children battling cancer who would be able to ask questions of various players.

Young had become ill while walking from his car to the stadium and was unable to attend the press conference or game, and was later readmitted to the hospital and underwent surgery, according to a Yankee news release.
“I never expected to get to a World Series. Not just with Calvin, but with Calvin, Trevor and Everett,” Teel said. “It was great. … It’s not something I expected. I thought maybe next season or when Calvin was better. Completely unbelievable and amazing.”

It was the first time all four family members were able to attend a Yankees game together since Young was diagnosed.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been able to do anything as a family, so it’s pretty incredible for all four of us,” Teel said.
The family has launched a GoFundMe to offset some of the costs for Young’s treatments.
Young is making progress in the right direction, Teel indicated, and the family has received good news in three previous test results.
