It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! After several weeks of Knicks-related excitement, we are back to the normal end-of-school grind, but that doesn’t stop the Yankees’ social media engine from turning. What were the fellas in the ‘stripes up to this week? Let’s find out!
Happy Father’s Day
Last Sunday was, of course, Father’s Day, and unsurprisingly, several members of the Yankees community took to social media to thank their fathers, grandfathers, and (in
the case of the wives) husbands.
Congrats, Rookie!
Yankee fans who remember the days when the Trenton Thunder was the team’s Double-A affiliate will remember Trenton’s long line of bat dogs. Well, this week, Rookie announced his retirement, working his last game as the team’s official bat dog on Wednesday before officially handing over the family business to his nephew Dash — though he’ll continue to attend the occasional MLB Draft League contest in Trenton. We wish him the best of luck (and all the treats) in his retirement!
Game Belts
This week may not have been as filled with wins as we would have liked, but we still got to pass the Game Belt around.
Dave’s Thoughts
As usual, Dave Sims took to Instagram with his thoughts after this week’s slate of games.
One Last Knicks Post
Willie Randolph decided to celebrate Father’s Day by honoring…Spike Lee, the Knicks superfan who also loves the Yankees.
Question of the Day
Related to the fact that Father’s Day was last Sunday, this week’s Question of the Day was, “Which teammate would you let babysit your children?” Perhaps unsurprisingly, the team’s elder statesman, Paul Goldschmidt, was one of the top choices, although it must be said that many of the pitchers looked to Fernando Cruz.
