Baseball is a sport filled with countless amazing moments for the fans to cherish forever. Every team, every player celebrates those amazing big moments in a way they think best. And such is the case with the Cuban-Mexican outfielder Randy Arozarena of the Tampa Bay Rays. Whenever the outfielder homers in a ballpark and rounds the third base, he does a special pose that marks his celebration of the homer. And the Rays slugger did the same when he homered on the pitch of the New York Yankees’ $324 million pitcher, Gerrit Cole.

During the recently concluded series, the Yanks played their second game of a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays and tied the series with a win. Then, after the game, in the press conference, Cole was asked a question about Arozarena’s pose after hitting home runs. And the sleek reply that the Yankees pitcher gave is now winning hearts. 

What did Gerrit Cole say about Randy Arozarena?

Simply looking at the contract of Gerrit Cole, one can say how good of an athlete he must be. And indeed, Cole is one of the best pitchers in the league. Even so, since no one is perfect, Cole also has his moments where his pitches get homered, and Arozarena is one of the hitters to do so.
