It has been over two months since the 2022 MLB season concluded. And still, baseball fans will have to wait at least seven weeks until the 2023 season will kick off. And, since MLB is going through its offseason, baseball players are having their best time off the field. The Yankees slugger garrison Bader is a recent example of the same, who had a memorable time watching an NHL game.

Notably, right from his first start for the Yanks, Bader has already become a fan favorite. And even though the Yankees failed big time in the ALCS against the Astros, how can a Yankees fan forget Bader’s effort in that series? Known for his beer celebration, when Bader made his appearance at the Rangers’ game, MLB fans could not resist cheering the Yankees star.

Harrison Bader had a blast supporting the New York Rangers in an NHL game

Recently, Bader was spotted at a National Hockey League game between the New York Rangers and the Dallas Stars on Friday. It was about as ideal an off-season day as it could have been for the center fielder. The crowd at the game was in for a treat when Bader was featured on the jumbotron, chugging a pint of beer. The crowd erupted in cheers as Bader finished the pint with a grin on his face. 

The moment quickly made its way to social media, specifically Twitter, where people seem to be in a conversation about the player. One fan said, “I freaking love this guy!” 

In addition to his offensive performance in the brief time he spent with the Yankees last season, Bader also stood out for his speed on the field. He was recorded as having the fastest sprint speed among all Yankees players who had 25 or more runs, with a speed of 29.1 feet per second. The fans love him.

Who won the NHL game?

The NHL game between the New York Rangers and the Dallas Stars turned out to be a good one. The Rangers won the game, 2-1. And it seems like the Yankees fans agree that Bader earned his free time at the game after the gritting last season.
