It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! As of this morning, Opening Day is officially this month, and the World Baseball Classic this week. What have the Bombers been up to this week? Let’s find out!
Congratulations, CC!
This past Wednesday, the Yankees announced that CC Sabathia will be the next Yankee to be enshrined in Monument Park, as his No. 52 will be retired this September.
Get Better Soon, CC!
Of course, that wasn’t the only Sabathia-related news this week. The Hall of Fame
lefty also revealed that he had knee replacement surgery last month. Fortunately, he has seven months to work back to health so he can take the mound and throw out the first pitch when his number is retired.
Out-of-this-world Pictures
Yankees outfielder and former top prospect Jasson Domínguez served as the team photographer during Thursday’s game, as the Yankees piled on the runs with their A-lineup.
Media Day Pics
We have some more photos from Media Day — this time, from minor leaguers.
Happy Birthday, Ben!
Yankees first baseman/catcher Ben Rice celebrated his 27th birthday this week. The Yankees honored his special day by giving him a gift — Ben’s Original Rice!
Celebrating Black History Month
The Yankees wrapped up Black History Month by highlighting the career of 14-time All-Star and 5-time World Series champion Reggie Jackson.
Fun with Cam
We got to see Cam Schlittler hang out with cats.
Daily Shenanigans
We wrap up this week with some more daily shenanigans from the Yankees’ social media team. This week, in honor of the US Olympic team winning the gold medal in both men’s and women’s hockey, they asked the players to take a shot on goal with some, uh, comically-sized hockey sticks.
We also got another round of Jenga.
And lastly, we got some old school photos with a Blackberry phone.
