Days After ‘The Martian’ Devastation, Yankees’ Forgotten Youngster Takes Center Stage With Rare Blast: “Watch It Fly…”

A nail-biting clash between the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates had fans on the edge of their seats. The Yankees squared off against their opponents, forever etching this in the newcomer’s memory. A moment of brilliance emerged, and Venezuelan utility player made his mark spectacularly on Saturday.  

This 2022 debutant stepped up to the plate, carrying the weight of the game and fans’ expectations after what happened to ‘The Martian.’ Oswaldo Cabrera’s play changed the game, securing them a 6-3 win over the Pirates. The fans saw it as seizing the moment after a quarter-long gap.

Oswaldo Cabrera’s Moment Of Celebration Amidst Jasson Dominguez’s Absence

Oswaldo Cabrera, the forgotten utility player is one of the young stars in the lineup along with Jasson Dominguez in the Yankees’ quest for dominance. Jasson was pulled from the lineup owing to a serious elbow inflammation. The slugger initially showed no signs of problems but ended up out of the lineup. Now the team hopes it does not cost him much time to recover. Amidst the scares of this injury, Cabrera’s homer was a breath of fresh air as the fans watched ”it fly”.

There’s a widely held belief that wielding Clemente’s bat can bring luck to a player the following day, often resulting in a home run. Interestingly enough, this prediction turned out to be accurate.

Cabrera had held the bat on Roberto Clemente Day, and on that very day, he launched his home run over the “21” marking in the right-field grass and cleared the 21-foot Clemente Wall at PNC Park. After hitting his first homer in three months, Cabrera said, “I can’t describe that. I can’t imagine that that happened today. I’m so happy.”

The homer also gave a reason for Aaron Boone to praise Cabrera. The Yankees manager while praising 24-year-old young player, said, “..he was able to do that and gave us what we needed to get the ball there in the middle innings. He’s done a really good job, he really has”. With that, fans erupted with emotions for Cabrera.
