Other than the excitement of new signings and trades, the offseason also brings a much-needed break for players. They get to spend time with their families and relax; for once the sport is at the back of their minds. Sometimes fans get to see some of those beautiful moments online. New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole recently gave that little glimpse of his life to fans. His wife Amy posted a wholesome video of Cole with his son Caden and it has stolen the hearts of the Bronx Faithful.
After a brilliant 2023, Gerrit Cole‘s on-field quality has turned him into a huge fan favorite. The reason for his fame though, is not just what he does in the ballpark, but also his off-field conduct. This can be seen from the reaction he got to the video his wife posted.

Bronx fans have long cursed the front office for investing in all the wrong players in the last several years. From Aaron Hicks to Josh Donaldson, none have lasted as long as they should have. The one saving grace for Brian Cashman has been Gerrit Cole, who became a Pinstriper in 2020. Cole’s regularly brilliant performance on the mound has earned him a faithful fanbase. But then outside of baseball, Cole happens to be a devout family man who loves to spend time with his wife and kids, earning even more fan love.

When his wife Amy posted a video on social media, the online world exploded with comments of adoration. In the clip, Cole can be seen playing soccer with his older son Caden. The 3-year-old is seen dribbling the ball while Cole is running behind him, enjoying watching the little one have a merry time.
The video showed how the Cole family enjoys their leisure time and fans were quick to react to this wholesome video. Many wished that the Yankees would win the World Series just to give Cole a ring. Given his Cy Young-worthy performance, the rest of the team has yet to catch up to his potential.
Gerrit Cole commands the sort of love that only a few players have the good fortune to have, and online reactions say it all.
