NEW YORK -- In many ways, Yankee Stadium is the reason Corey Seager's passion for baseball runs so deep, and why the National League’s top rookie is in a heightened sense of awareness this week as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Bronx.
Yankee Stadium is the home to Seager’s favorite team growing up. And Yankee Stadium is where Seager’s baseball hero, Derek Jeter, did so many inspiring things. Yankee Stadium is also the place where his father, Jeff Seager, hit a home run in college that was witnessed by multiple generations of the family.
