Two years ago today, New York Yankees’ superstar and youngster Gleyber Torres made his Major League Baseball debut at 21 years old. Despite going hitless during his first game, Torres has risen in the New York City spotlight and has made a name for himself throughout the league.
The New York Yankees won that game, 5-1 over the Blue Jays. Torres said following the game, “(I’m) super happy. And I’m happy the team won.”
Being only 21 years old at the time and walking up to your first Major League at-bat while all of Yankee Stadium is giving you a standing ovation is quite a way to be welcomed to the pinstripe family.
