Blake Rutherford Interview and Yankees Mailbags - The Bronx Pinstripes Show

Yankees outfielder and 2016 first round pick, Blake Rutherford (@BlakeRuth2), joined The Bronx Pinstripes Show #113. Topics with Blake (3:15-40-20): What his first year in pro baseball was like, how the support he’s received from family, friends, and coaches helped him, growing up in Southern California as a diehard Yankees fan, meeting Derek Jeter, and his experiences on draft day in 2016. Then Scott and Andrew discuss Masahiro Tanaka’s contract and answer mailbag questions about Tyson Ross, if people are underestimating the 2017 Yankees, if Derek Jeter will be the last captain, changing baseball history, and their first fan memories. If you plan to attend Yankees Spring Training this year, March 24-26 is the weekend to go. The Yankees have 3 home games and the Bronx Pinstripes team will be in Tampa. We plan on having a fan meet-up that weekend — stay tuned for details! If you are going, let us know by tweeting @BronxPinstripes and @YankeesPodcast. GET IN TOUCH Submit mailbag questions here.
