Gary Sanchez displayed as much enthusiasm about talking to The Post on Saturday that he did going after the passed ball that allowed Tampa Bay baserunner Jake Bauers to score from second base in late July.
Sitting at a table and finishing an autograph session at Steiner Sports Store early in the afternoon inside the Roosevelt Field Mall, Sanchez sent word he didn’t want to talk to the lone news-gathering outlet on hand that was standing 10 feet away.
That left Aaron Boone, sitting two seats to Sanchez’s left, to chat about the debridement procedure the Yankees catcher had on the left (non-throwing) shoulder Thursday — even though the manager’s left arm wasn’t in a sling and the body part that was operated on wasn’t his.
