Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Championships and Marathons

It’s Sunday once again, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup!

The ladies go running

Last Sunday was the New York Marathon, and both Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo were in attendance. Don’t fret, though: the two sluggers weren’t running, but supporting their wives who were. Running a marathon is no easy feat — congratulations to the both of them!

Gleyber Torres on YouTube?

Hmm, I’ll be honest, I’m not quite sure what’s going on here. But Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres posted that something is “coming soon,” and the picture included both the YouTube logo and “The Gley Way.” Whatever it is, Everson Pereira and Gio Urshela were in the comments hyping it up, so ... I guess we’ll find out soon enough ...
