You envision Gleyber Torres chatting with Aaron Boone about the Subway Series the way Will Ferrell did with Adam Scott, in “Step Brothers,” about the Catalina Wine Mixer:
Torres: I’m ready. Walkin’ tall.
Boone: You’re ready to run with the bulls?
Torres: I’ve been earnin’ and burnin’. Snappin’ necks and cashin’ checks.
Maybe not word for word? Nevertheless, this 22nd version of the modern Subway Series, set to launch Friday night at Citi Field, represents another mountain, the next big stage, for the Yankees’ dynamic, 21-year-old rookie to climb. With his fellow freshman Miguel Andujar serving as one heck of a wing man.
