NEW YORK -- It wasn't about to be Picture Day, and as far as he knew, Reilly Garay didn't have any major events coming up -- so when his mother Nelva Alicea made him get a haircut Monday afternoon, the seventh grader wasn't pleased.
But on Tuesday afternoon in Room 311 of P.S./ I.S. 224, his mother's demand finally made sense. Garay looked up in the middle of working on a math problem to see Yankees reliever Dellin Betances walk in the room with a group of video cameras trailing the All-Star pitcher. Betances was there to surprise Garay, who was the winner of New Era's back to school style contest.
