TAMPA, Fla. — For the first time in a game, Juan Soto wore the pinstripes and heard the cheers of Yankees fans — starting the moment he appeared on the field.
And that was just during Sunday afternoon's pregame wind sprints.
As a player, “I want to see how it’s going to feel to have them … cheering me instead of booing me,’’ Soto said. “It’s been pretty good.’’
Soto gave the 9,278 fans at Steinbrenner Field something to really shout about, blasting a three-run homer off the left-center field scoreboard — a clout that impressed Aaron Judge.
