ALITTLE SANCHEZ ENCOURAGEMENT FROM REGGIE JACKSON

You gotta love Reggie.  Reggie was on a few teams in his career, playing well with the A's, the Angels... even being on the Orioles for a hot minute. But he knows his home is New York... and I love that.  

Now we've all been coming down on Gary Sanchez pretty hard. Many of us have ranked on him for his chunkiness... his slowness. Many have accused him of being lazy. But in the end, it's stuff like this that makes me realize just how hard the game truly is.  Believing. 

Reggie tweeted this to Sanchez. Check it out:

Gary Sanchez, the job is yours, you only have to claim it. You were the best hitter on the team at one time, work your butt off and prove it. I’ve believed in you since you were 16. And so do a lot of others. Let us see what you got sobrino, Tío Reggie

In the end, it's that type of public push that really makes us all stop.  It's baseball. It's not easy. But there are supporters and believers everywhere, and sometimes human beings need a reset... maybe in their occupation like Gary Sanchez, but definitely in a mindset like us fans. 

Hey... it's the holiday season. We just came off a horrible 2020. Let's step back a sec, realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel and learn one important thing. Kindness.

Thanks Reggie... I needed that.
