Jazz Chisholm Jr. made his New York Yankees debut Sunday night against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, one day after he was acquired from the Miami Marlins for three minor leaguers.
Chisholm arrived at the ballpark about 90 minutes before the first pitch and was penciled into the lineup batting fifth and playing center field. Wearing uniform No. 13, he went 1 for 5 with a single and scored a late run in the Yankees 8-2 victory.
“I was super excited,” Chisholm said about putting on a Yankees uniform. “Every kid dreams of being a Yankee, it’s the most famous team in baseball that Derek Jeter played on, if you know what I mean. Everybody’s favorite player was Derek Jeter growing up. I had him as an owner, so I just feel it was right to come up and put on a uniform.”
