The Somerset Patriots are the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, who play at award-winning TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey.
Ben Rice mentions his “dad”, Dan “Cauliflower” Rice. But he falls short of giving “Pops” his full due. Dan was one of top stickball players in Brown/Ivy League history. He was a first ballot Thete HOF inductee, and still holds the “split record” in the prestigious Scut Races.
I dealt with Rob Crossman a bit during the 2020 “season”, and he’s just great - the merchandise that the Patriots have been coming up with over the past several years has mostly looked terrific, and he’s a big reason why.
In addition to his good spring numbers, the dude seems to have a good head on his shoulders..i know that doesn't translate into stats, but i get a good vibe.
Thrilled to see him doing so well in Spring Training - I don’t think he’ll be on the team when it heads north in a couple of weeks, but he’s making the case to get called up sooner rather than later.
They got to bring this kid up a.s.a.p. and not keep him in the minors for 10 years before bringing him up😡 The Yankees are known for keeping baby bombers in the minors for 10 years before bringing them up😡
From one Jeter fanatic as a kid (and still to this day) to another, we are all rooting for you. Not pressuring you, but rooting. Just keep doing you and you'll kill it.
