Bronx native Andrew Velazquez hits first homer in NY & brings family to tears! 

Sounds like a dream come true 👏👏

Velasquez going to be the next Jeter mark my words. Keep this kid in the major leagues.

@@maritzaacosta3391 nah, I mean he’s already 27

@@savagecabbageboi6491 *27?* Shoot, it means his best years are ahead! I'm with you, *Maritza.*

The he may hit 500 part just ruined it but yea

My dream definitely wasn't to be hispanic hahahaha

@? Squid Joe Carter.

@@lucasfiggy467 so you're best option for countering a racist comment is with a homophobic one? Come on people, can we all just be a little mo' better?

Kid? Playing a little fast and loose with that term cowboy...hes 27

@@brownie_shenandoah 27? Are you joking? He is 8. I know because I am his mother.

@@brownie_shenandoah kid it's a term mate, chill

@@makatron really....the guy must’ve been electrocuted.....

Must've felt so Great!

Not like Zach Hample

It’s Zack Hample and what Zack usually asks for is to simply meet the player and hand it himself. He is often met with gifts anyway. (Barring the A-Roid incident)

@@moonjae-in12thpresidentofr20 you his agent?

@@moonjae-in12thpresidentofr20 What was the incident? I just googled this person. How does he manage to get so many catches??

@@SmartWentCrazyhe’s a bozo who does nothing else with this life that’s probably why

100%

Facts!!!!

NOBODY is proud of a 310ft Home Run.

@@AztecMC1 How the f-k do you know?

@@chatman2a i hit one when i was 7 yrs old

Shut your taco. This isn't about you. Go take a selfie.

Oh No, Taco! You've triggered more snowflake jealousy.

Why you guys hating lmao

Taco used to toss Andrew and the NY Gothams 🥗 s!

Taco STACKS FTW! I 👍🤘

Zero to sixty.

He still lives with his parents imagine how he’s feeling nothing but respect for his hustle and hard work 💯

Nope. Not changing.

a bronx kid to actually play for the yankees actually hasn't ever happened. the baseball cube says only 31 players born the bronx have played in mlb.

LOU GEHRIG DID THAT. FROM THE LOWER EAST SIDE

@@mariocisneros911 Lou Gehrig was from Yorkville on the Upper Eastside. That was the big German community in Manhattan at that time.

Sandy koufax did it. Born in Brooklyn, played in Brooklyn

I get he wasn't a Yankee but New York is New York.

No it "hits" like all other homeruns, hard and crisp.

@@erichvonmanstein6876 thank you, literalist

Me too! And I'm from Staten Island. We need more good news like this coming from NY. I hope his Family got the ball.

@@nyk3334 you're welcome, first times always free kid

Yeah he has so much talent which is why he couldn't even get playing time for a sorry Baltimore Orioles team😂

@@jonesvaughn8946 have you been watching the last 2 series that the yanks played? The kid is an up and coming all star

@@heyguy3417 the dude is 27 and has already played for four teams in his 4 years in the majors and has never gotten more than 77 at bats in his four years in the league not to mention in one of those four years he was playing for the worst team in baseball and still couldn't get playing time so you can't be considered a talented player when you have played for that many teams in your 4 years in the league and not having more than 77 at bats in any of those years

@@jonesvaughn8946 watch the Yankees game tomorrow he will impress you

@@heyguy3417 and I'm pretty sure if any team thought he was a talented player he wouldn't have gotten traded four times in just his four years in the league and he definitely wouldn't have gotten only 77 at bats as his most at bats he's ever gotten in four years in the league

Check out david freese game 6 2011 world series

@@brownie_shenandoah no

My cousin was born in the Bronx. Played little league in Pennsylvania. Played high school ball in Florida. Drafted by the Red Sox at 17 and was in the farm system for a few years before making the Orioles 40 man. Watching him pitch to Alex Rodriguez and other Yankees at Yankee stadium on Mother’s Day a couple of years back was PRICELESS!!! …and emotional. The entire family was there to see

Yankees, my number one team to HATE! But that story is why I LOVE baseball! You can tell that kid has a huge family support team.

If only there was a Video of that

Yep and I'll took was for you to get traded for times because you're not that good just so lucky enough to land on the Yankees...just like he drew it up lol

You aren't true or dedicated. You're a small racist.

hes so happy cuz after hitting a 310ft ball and its legally a HomeRun now he knows what its like to be the other gender - he can now re-assign his gender after being proud of that 310ft home run. You Go Girl!!!!

Nope. No tee.

looks like Tee ball alright. Little league 310ft fences lol. what a dam joke

That's the thing about baseball. It brings people together.

@@mickey8039 yes hate the team not the players

Hey I'm a twins fan I hate em to but the players r very nice over there it's just the team

@@benjaminschroeder8027 Twins come to NY, they beat the twins. Yanks come to MN, they beat the twins.

@@Surfer041 ik but I still love the twins

He’s 27

Lived in 3 different places in South Bronx. Hometown Velasquez! New nickname?

@@YuriBurgundy definitely 💪

He's 27 homie... plus I got to imagine his dream wasn't to finally make it to the majors hitting under 200 for his career at age 27

What's his stance on Abortion?

@@dajosee because if hes gonna be bringing those pacino pizzas around.....could be trouble

You're thinking of Augustus Camstein of the old Philadelphia Eagles ball club.

@@billyjackbuzzard he is thinking about Daniel Camarena, relief pitcher of the SD Padres, hometown kid from San Diego who hit a grand slam on his first hit of his career earlier this season at Petco Park. He actually was drafted by the Yankees....

No you weren't. You were at your mom's boyfriend's house cooking breakfast.

he was at his wifes boyfriends uncles house making him omlettes while watching espn…

Yankee fan overhyping a young player? Thats a new one

@@NothingToPointOut24 Don’t judge a book by its cover.

@@syon6176 no we're judging it by his 188 career average. And the fact that the Yankees paid 111 million dollars in payroll this year and a lot of the fans seem to be pinning their hopes on this nobody

Or women in this case

With just as much talent.....btw, most of Rudy was bullkaka Edit: according to Joe Montana who was the ND QB at that time

Lol

Wepa!

You can totally totally do that.

You better claim him . I think he got special all over him , if he gets the opportunity to showcase it . Esta duro muchacho.🇩🇴🔥🔥🔥👍

Don't change a thing!

Stanton could buy him own mansion....but yeah don't change a thing. Although.....he is a real Yankee fan at heart so I don't think money and fame would change the way he would play in pinstripes. When you want a team to win because you're a real fan and not just an employee that brings a whole another level of competitiveness.

Wise to postpone the day before.
