New York Post | Ken Davidoff: Aaron Hicks wasn’t in the Yankees’ starting lineup on Monday night, but while he is off to a rough start in 2021, it wasn’t because of his performance. After reckoning with the emotions of the death of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, MN, the former homegrown Twins outfielder asked skipper Aaron Boone if it was OK to take a mental health day. This is an excellent article from Davidoff on the importance of allowing athletes to grapple with such serious issues. It’s been a long year and change, and we all sometimes need that kind of support in our lives.
