It’s no secret Todd Frazier rooted for the Yankees as a kid growing up in New Jersey. There’s even a picture of Frazier standing next to former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter after his team won the Little League World Series.
So it’s no surprise that his favorite player is former Yankees outfielder and current YES Network analyst Paul O’Neill.
After Paul O’Neill wore No. 21, almost no one dared to wear it following his retirement in 2001. However, Frazier wants to wear No. 21, and will ask O’Neill for permission before the Yankees come home to the Bronx for their next homestand.
