It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week has been a whirlwind of baseball, filled with spring training games and, of course, the World Baseball Classic. How have the Yankees been spending their time off the diamond? Let’s find out!
The WBC Continues
As expected, the World Baseball Classic has remained the biggest news in the baseball world, and thus has dominated social media.
While it’s not Yankees-related, I also want to highlight Ondřej Satoria, “the Electrician,” who struck out Shohei Ohtani in the 2023 World Baseball Classic and who ended his baseball career this week with 4.2 shutout innings against Samurai Japan in Czechia’s final game of the WBC.
College Ball with CC
Former Yankees Hall of Fame pitcher CC Sabathia spent last weekend watching his son play ball at the University of Houston; also with him were Ken Griffey Jr. and former Yankees bullpen coach Mike Harkey.
A-Rod’s Budget Team
Alex Rodriguez took to Instagram to show how he would build a Major League Baseball team on a budget. While I won’t get into his full analysis here, the fact that he has Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger on the team should be an encouraging sign for Yankees fans (he also has Aaron Judge, of course, but that’s kind of a no-brainer, and in fact the entire linchpin of the team he constructed).
Celebrating Service
Both the Yankees as an organization and Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation celebrated major milestones this week, with the former receiving the 2025 Allan H. Selig Award from Major League Baseball, and the latter turned 30.
More Pics from Media Day
We have even more photos that were probably taken at media day.
Questions of the Day
This busy week saw the Yankees social media team post a number of Questions of the Day. We got some restaurant recommendations, learned who everyone’s favorite princess was (I am personally annoyed at all those who said Elsa, Frozen is sooo overrated, and quite a few guys smoothly named their wives/daughters), and found out what obscure topics the players can give presentations on.
