Yankee followers troll Josh Naylor with ‘Who’s your daddy!’ chants

A sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium wanted Josh Naylor to know that even though Gerrit Cole may be his son, they’re the Cleveland Guardian DH’s daddy.

Naylor’s property run celebration in Recreation 4 of the ALDS garnered notice for currently being relatively weird and to some degree unique, in a unusual way. Soon after hitting a solo residence operate off of Cole, Naylor rounded the bases when pretending to rock a newborn and calling the Yankees ace his “son.”

The celebration backfired when Cleveland misplaced and had to go back to New York for a decisive Match 5. By the time Naylor produced it to the plate in the 2nd inning for his initial at-bat of the night time, Yankee admirers were keen to enable him listen to it.

Naylor flew out to proper area in his to start with at-bat from Nestor Cortes, and the chants commenced as shortly as Aaron Decide gloved the ball. They started yet again when he grounded out to the shortstop in the third inning. In the sixth, the followers booed him as he walked to the plate, but they begun back up when he lined out to remaining.

Cole explained he didn’t see the celebration at the time. But the moment he did, he didn’t appear to be really impressed.

“Yeah, whichever. It is cute,” Cole stated Sunday night at Progressive Subject. “It would not have bothered me in the second and it just is form of amusing.”

Naylor could possibly be the recent subject matter of the Bronx’s ire but this certain chant was a custom across the avenue again when the group was nevertheless playing at the previous stadium. Yankee followers chanted the identical issue at former Boston Crimson Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez in the 2004 ALCS. Of course, the Pink Sox finished up profitable the sequence and finally went on to get the Earth Collection as nicely, snapping their 86-12 months drought.

Possibly Yankee followers will have much better luck with it this yr.

Naylor went 4-for-4 on Tuesday night time as the Yankees won 5-1 to advance to the ALCS.
