NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The New York Yankees will officially introduce their new star pitcher, Gerrit Cole, today at Yankee Stadium.
Cole will be sporting pinstripes with a whole new look. He’s expected to be clean-shaven and have a haircut, keeping with the Yankees’ famous dress code.
Cole has been a Yankees fan since he was a kid. One photo from the 2001 World Series shows him holding a sign saying he’s a fan “today, tomorrow and forever.”
He eventually got the team’s attention and has been on their radar since high school.
