‘Goofy’ Gerrit Cole’s Antics Steal Spotlight as Recently Traded Yankees Pitcher Embarks on a New Chapter in Life

Former New York Yankees superstar pitcher Michael King just got married. The Yankees fanbase, along with his Bronx Bombers troupe, couldn’t have been happier about it! The biggest names of their squad—Aaron Judge, Luke Voit, and company—were present with the ace to celebrate his embarkment on the newest chapter of his life. However, Gerrit Cole managed to steal the show with his hilarious antiques, as always.

King recently had to change bases after being traded to the San Diego Padres clubhouse. However, that did not stop the pitcher from having one of the happiest reconciliations with his former teammates. Cole, in particular, left an indelible mark on the ceremony. What did the fan-favorite Cole Train do this time?

Michael King’s wedding got Gerrit Cole tying knots between emotions

In the photo that emerged from the ceremony, it was seen that players like Gerrit Cole, Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Clay Holmes, DJ LeMahieu, Chad Green, Luke Voit, and Jameson Taillon were present there on the groom’s behalf. Cole, in particular, decided to make the most of the joyous moment.

Cole was seen leaving the rest of the crew rolling in the aisles with a hysterically funny, goofy grin adorning his face that showed what can be said to be quite an uncanny Jim Carrey-like expression. What details have been revealed about King’s dearly beloved so far?

King got married to his longtime girlfriend, Sheila Hill, whom he had been engaged to since December of last year. December 16 marks the day those two got married, surrounded by friends and family. Although Gerrit Cole was seen joshing around in the ceremony—if the photo is any proof—he wasn’t very happy about King’s unwilling exit from the team. Why, one may ask?

Cole’s King Conundrum

Back in September this year, Gerrit Cole made a statement about King’s exceptional pitching skills. “Michael’s got every trait you want out of a starter,” he said, according to Newsday. Per reports, Cole’s fondness for King proved to be an initial roadblock that the Yankees had overcome to make the trade for Juan Soto. From the moment shared in the recent ceremony, it looks like Cole missed his dear friend—his grin made it sure! The Yankees fanbase has been gushing about it ever since.
