‘I’m Preparing You to Be a Yankee.’- New York Yankees’ Jose Trevino Fulfills His Father’s Wish With a Late Win Over Baltimore Orioles

New York Yankees are finally back on the winning track after their recent victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Thanks to Jose Trevino, who not only won the game for the Yankees but also fulfilled the wish of his late father.

With his hands around his head and pointing his fingers towards the sky, Trevino ran through all the emotions in the ballpark against the Orioles. It was not a regular celebration for the Yankees’ catcher. Trevino fulfilled his late father’s dream with a sensational late win in the Yankee Stadium.

Notably, the Pinstripes were going through a losing streak of three games after a hot start of the season. It was the longest losing streak for the Yankees in the current season. But a late-inning heroic from Jose Trevino has put the Yankees back on the winning track.

Jose Trevino paid an emotional tribute to his late father

At once, the Yankees were trailing the Orioles in the second game of the series, but Jose Trevino made sure his team to not lose the fourth game on a trot. First, he smacked a home run and a tying single in the seventh inning, then the Yankees’ catcher hit a game-winning single in the Yankee Stadium.

When Trevino won the game for the Yankees, he celebrated the moment in style. With his eyes welled in tears, he paid a special tribute to his late father. Per Trevino, his father wanted him to do something like this in the Yankee Stadium. This moment became more special because it was his late father’s birthday.

“I know you all saw some tears. There is a reason behind it. My dad was a huge Yankees fan,” Trevino expressed. “He would always put me in these scenarios. He always said, ‘Ninth inning, down one, you need a base hit here to tie the game or win the game at Yankee Stadium. It would have been awesome for him to be here. But I know he’s watching. He always said, like, ‘I’m preparing you to be a Yankee, always.”

Can the Yankees avoid another series loss to the Orioles?

If not for their recent series against the Chicago White Sox, the Orioles are the only team to win a series against the New York Yankees. And if things go their way, they might end another series against the Pinstripes.
