The New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is certainly having a blast during this offseason. While he has been excelling professionally, having just won his first Cy Young award, even in his personal life, he’s enjoying his much-needed family time. A few weeks ago a video emerged of him playing soccer with his son Caden which ended up winning the hearts of his fans. Now another wholesome video of the father-son duo has come to light.

But interestingly, due to these videos, little Caden has turned into a cult figure for the Yankee Nation. They had an interesting reaction after seeing their latest video.
