This was Gerrit Cole’s lowest Yankees moment
NY Post
Back on Dec. 18, 2019, Gerrit Cole introduced himself to the Yankees’ universe by throwing the news-conference equivalent of a perfect game.
Alas, no one asked him about Spider Tack that day. The Yankees’ ace channeled The Tap Dance Kid on Tuesday at Target Field, appearing biblically uncomfortable during a Zoom news conference as he received questions about using sticky stuff to improve his spin rate and, consequently, his performance and results. He hemmed, he hawed, he paused for six seconds after being asked directly (by The Post) whether he has used Spider Tack, the paste that apparently has revolutionized the time-honored art of doctoring the baseball, while pitching.More Related News
