By now we know that Anthony Volpe is the opening day Yankees shortstop and it's like a dream come true for a kid like this. Locally, we all know this guy and have supported him. In the spring, we all rooted hard for this kid and he never let the pressure get the most of him. He just went out and competed and performed like a major leaguer. That's what you want in a player.
For the longest time, the Yankees have been one of those teams that give the fans a glimpse of what the Yankees have on the farm only to let them disappear in the minor leagues just to die. Not with Volpe... he forced their hand. Couple that with a frustrated fan base and I really think it was the perfect storm. The Yankees needed to do it. I can't stop watching all the videos about him being with his family and of course the big video of Aaron Boone Welcoming him to New York. Here are those videos here in one spot. Enjoy them.

And if I can say 1 thing to Volpe it's this; stay true to yourself, work hard and never give up. We want you manning short buddy.
Go get it!
