The Yankees who made it cool to wear glasses

Gleyber Torres’ good-luck glasses made their debut in 2019. Torres busted out his frames again in August, during the Yankees’ series against the Blue Jays in Buffalo. The Yankees had just hit rock bottom, having lost 15 of their last 20 games, before Gleyber began donning the glasses. That first night in Buffalo, Torres helped the Yankees break the slump by going 2-for-5 at the plate, with a home run and four RBI. And so the good luck glasses were born.

Because Torres’ bat got hot once he put on the glasses, some fans speculated that Torres’ eyesight had worsened, and was the cause of his slump.
