Yankee spring training. He's going to
walk. He's going to pick up the ball.
He's going to look at the crowd, the
young kids. No, never mind. Going in my
pocket. I like this ball. Decided I'm
not going to throw it. And then he just
posts up like, "What do you got?" So
they start booing him, you know, like
you do. And he's playing into it. He's
being fun. And then they're really
booing him. And he's like, "Can't hear
you. I can't hear you due to my hands
being over my ears. How do you know when
to stop holding them?" He gave the ball
to the fans. They followed this up. Said
in between innings, he walked over to
the crowd. He gave the ball to a little
kid. He realized the net was too high
and he was like, I don't know if I'm
going to be able to throw it over that
net. So, he just pocketed it. And then
once he did that, he was like, I'll have
some fun with the crowd. And you got to
like that.
