Every player in the major leagues is living out a childhood dream. Some more than others.
Andrew Velazquez grew up in the Bronx dreaming of playing for the Yankees and now, nine years into his professional baseball career, he finally gets to put on the pinstripes.
Velazquez starred at Fordham Prep in the Bronx before he was selected in the seventh round of the 2012 draft by the Diamondbacks. He made his MLB debut for the Rays in 2018 and played for Cleveland and the Orioles before signing a minor league deal with the Yankees this season.
