ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Remember the “Saturday Night Live” sketch when legendary quarterback Joe Montana plays Phil Hartman’s ultra-sincere roomate, Stu?
Stu says to Hartman and his date, Jan Hooks, “I hope I’m not disturbing you,” and then, in a voiceover, he thinks, “I hope I’m not disturbing them.” He keeps it very simple.
DJ LeMahieu is the 2019 Yankees’ version of Stu.
Allow the rest of us to declare vindication for the Yankees and LeMahieu, whose marriage — rather controversial upon its announcement, you might recall — has been completely vindicated so far. The soft-spoken LeMahieu, one of the Yankees’ most valuable players and one of the few to not spend time on the injured list, doesn’t waste his time on such sentiments.
