Give credit where credit is due. Thairo Esrtada is a wonderful edition to the New York Yankees. And if you haven't read it yet, make sure you check out this article from the New York Post about Thairo and last night's victory. Here's a portion:
"Estrada had a dream, to share a diamond one day with Hernandez. He just couldn’t imagine the first time would follow such an unbelievable script. The Yankees’ versatile rookie will never forget Monday night.
His first start in The Bronx was a fairy tale come to life. Facing his famous countryman, Estrada blasted the first homer of his career and made a clutch defensive play at shortstop to key a 7-3 Yankees’ victory that had to make a lot of people back home very happy. All that was missing was radio announcer John Sterling giving him a personalized home run call.
'It’s kind of like a dream, to face him and be able to connect there,' Estrada said..."
If you dream it, many times you can do it, and that's the lesson for many little leaguers out there that one day aim to be like Estrada, or Felix or Aaron Judge... or whomever.
I love stories like this and had to share it. Yes, kids like Estrada are doing amazing things for the Yankees. A bunch of call-ups hungry to play and keep the team in the running while the top players recover.
The Yankees are in a bad spot with injury, but when stories and victories like this are mentioned... well... it just makes it all better.
Go Yanks! Go Thairo!
