NEW YORK — Gary Sanchez wasn’t there.
Maybe he was lucky.
Sanchez didn’t have to see the figurine, made by Starting Lineup, that the Yankees gave to fans in a 7-3 win over the Rangers at Yankee Stadium on Thursday.
It looked nothing like him. At all.
It was so bad, in fact, that Yankees fans on Twitter got a big kick out of the Sanchez lookalike, that showed him in a batting stance and came with a detachable bat.
For what it’s worth, the figurine’s batting stance wasn’t that far off.
