Just this past weekend, I had to explain to a friend of mine who was watching the New York Yankees with me that when Todd Frazier shot a “thumbs down” over to the dugout following an RBI single, the notion was actually a good thing.
When the Tampa Bay Rays were hosting the Yankees at Citi Field due to Hurricane Irma last week, Todd Frazier blasted a crucial three-run home run to give the Yankees a 5-1 win over their division rivals. As Frazier was circling the pillows, a disgruntled Mets fan — obviously disgusted that the Yankees were once again victorious on his beloved Mets’ stomping grounds — shot the New Jersey-native an unimpressive look, accompanied by a thumbs down.
