Chicago — Tigers manager AJ Hinch knows he’s probably not going to get a hero’s welcome when he’s introduced Friday night at Yankee Stadium.
It’ll be New York fans first real chance to show him how they feel about his role in the sign-stealing scandal that may or may not have impacted the Yankees' loss to the Astros in the 2017 American League Championship Series.
“The New York fan base is as passionate as any you could imagine,” Hinch said. “In good times, in bad times, rivalries, love, hate — they encompass fandom. I know exactly what to expect going to New York.
