Harrison Bader is trying to add to the kind of camaraderie the Yankees want to have over the course of a long season one bottle of wine at a time.
Bader walked across the room, and left the bottle for Hamilton in his locker. He then delivered the other to Bauers, who was already sitting at his stall.But the center fielder is hoping it might help add to the kind of camaraderie the Yankees want to have over the course of a long season with the likes of Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Gerrit Cole also playing key roles in their own ways.
“I learned a tremendous amount from a lot of good guys in St. Louis,” said the 28-year-old Bader, who broke into the big leagues with the Cardinals in 2017. “I was really fortunate to be in a really good, positive clubhouse with a lot of veterans who just did things the right way and celebrated younger guys when they did something well. So I definitely do my best to kind of pass that on.
over the first month of the season to fill a need. That made their winning contributions all the more significant, and Bader made sure they had something to remember it by.When Calhoun received his bottle from Bader, the day after hitting a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning of a win over the Guardians, heWillie Calhoun shared a photo of the inscribed bottle he received following his first Yankees home run.That may have been how Bauers’ mom, Misty, heard about the tradition.
Being the Yankees’ go-to pinch hitter, though rarely used, has caused Isiah Kiner-Falefa to change up his routines.Kiner-Falefa was 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts as a pinch-hitter, which is one of the most difficult assignments in the sport. “Normally you start [getting ready] in the fifth inning, but now with the pitch clock, innings have been rolling and rolling and rolling,” Kiner-Falefa said. “I try to stay ready the whole game, just because you don’t have enough time with how short innings are nowadays and how fast the game goes.”The Yankees may soon have another card to play in left field, if none of their current options get rolling or any of them gets injured.
