New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres signed an unusual object for a fan while attending the Brooklyn Nets game this past weekend.
On Sunday night, the Brooklyn Nets took on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Barclays Center. It was a matchup in which the Nets emerged victorious by a score of 109-89. They’re now 14-12 on the year and sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Besides the actual basketball, one of the more memorable moments of the game came from a baseball star in the stands. New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres sat courtside and was signing an autograph for a fan. YES Network caught Torres doing so and portrayed that the object he signed was actually a paper plate.

Torres additionally took a selfie with the young fan during the interaction. Fans sometimes have had athletes sign unusual objects, as that may be all they have. However, having a paper plate autographed is definitely new, at least for some people.
The broadcasters then went on to discuss how Torres gave play-by-play announcer Ryan Ruocco a shout from across the court. Color commentator Richard Jefferson additionally revealed how he doesn’t know who Torres is, which shocked Ruocco and color commentator Sarah Kustok.
