NEW YORK -- Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson felt the pressure of coming into a new market and making a strong first impression.
"Everybody feels that," Donaldson said. "You gotta trust your process and how you go about your business."
The moment for Donaldson to really trust his process came in the bottom of the 11th inning, against the rival Boston Red Sox on Opening Day, with Isaiah Kiner-Falefa on second base to start the inning. Donaldson, 36, needed to trust the process that carried him to 251 career homers and an MVP award before he arrived in New York this offseason via trade from the Minnesota Twins.
