I'm a lifelong Yankees fan, so it's surprising that it's taken me this long to chose a Yankee as my MLBoyfriend. Well, the right guy finally came along.
Gary Sanchez was called up by the Yankees on August 2, and now,
he's leading their quest for a wild card slot.
Last week, Sanchez was on fire at the plate batting
over 500--to be exact, in 23 appearences, his average was .522. He had a 1.911 OPS, the highest in the MLB for the week. This all brought a lot of scoring for the Yankees--five home runs, seven runs scored, and nine runs batted in.
That kind of power is rare enough, but a catcher who can hit like that is a real treasure in baseball. The Yankees saw the potential in Sanchez to be that extra special catcher when
he was just fifteen.
Sanchez not only gets to wear the Yankees Pinstripes--
the best sports uniform ever--he also gets all the cool catcher's gear. IMHO, that is a killer combination.
