» Yanks Visit VA Tech Yankees Blog

March 19, 2008

On Tuesday, the Yankees travelled to Virginia Tech University to play an exhibition game against the Hokies. The Yankees made the days of every player on VA Tech by not only sharing the field and playing ball…but also giving them memories that will last forever.

After Alex Rodriguez was removed from the game, he went spent the remainder of the game in the Va tech dugout. Rodriguez gave away a pair of bats, his wristband and batting gloves by asking trivia questions about himself.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi also contributed. He had 50 lineup cards printed out and signed each one, in addition to giving Tech coach Pete Hughes the team’s large dugout card.

All of the players brought their digital cameras and posed for pictures with the Yankees as they finished taking batting practice.

VA Tech catcher, Anthony Sosnoskie, got ot talk to all the Yankee players as they came up to bat, and it was a memorable day for him. Also, several gathered around Yankees general manager Brian Cashman as he let them try on his diamond-encrusted World Series ring.

The Yankees won the game 11-0, but Tuesday was a day in which the score did not matter. Once again, the Yankees show why they are the CLASS of MLB!!
