It was a busy Tuesday for the New York Yankees involving several home runs, speaking to the media and a rather hilarious photo shoot.
The majority of the headlines yesterday did not revolve directly around the New York Yankees. However, CC Sabathia made sure he had his voice heard.
On Monday evening, Adam Jones was harassed by fans at Fenway Park. The fans threw peanuts at him while also tossing around racial slurs.
Of course, Sabathia had something to put into the mix. Sabathia, who has been in the league since 2002, spoke with the New York Post about his experience as a black player on the mound at Fenway Park.
Sabathia spoke out regarding Jones’ incident on the field in hopes that it will help bring awareness to cruel treatment black players have received in various ballparks.
There is not room for hatred in the sport and the fact that these racist slurs are still being thrown around is disgusting.
Sabathia took a stand and it won’t be long before some others step up as well.
Gary Sanchez also started his rehab stint yesterday with his former team, the Scranton-Wilkes/Barre Railriders, and crushed it (pun ABSOLUTELY intended).
Sanchez launched a home run off the first pitch he saw Tuesday night and never looked back. He followed that up with an RBI double to left center.
Austin Romine left yesterday’s game with an undisclosed injury when heading to third base…is there a chance a red-hot Sanchez could be returning to the Bronx sooner than advertised?
Stay tuned, ladies and gents.
Aaron Judge had some fun on the field Tuesday but may have had even more fun with his photo shoot with Ronald Torreyes.
The two did a photo shoot with the YES Network that found them switching jerseys. Of course, that made for utterly hilarious photos that fans will be laughing at for days to come.
Personally, I already found the new background on my phone.
As always, let’s end this Buzz on a positive note. So we know Aaron Judge as a gentle giant. What about a gentle giant who can mash? Just ask this television at Yankee Stadium.
Hide your televisions because Aaron Judge is crushing baseballs all over the place!
Stay tuned for our next edition of the Bomber Buzz. Until then, happy hump day, friends!
