According to Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune, the temperature at Yankee Stadium for Tuesday’s game was 46 degrees, the coldest for Seattle Mariners game there since 1992.
For the Mariners’ $240 million man, Robinson Cano, it may have felt even colder.
Making his much anticipated return to Yankee Stadium for the first time since departing for the great northwest, Cano was not surprisingly greeted with a chorus of boos and even a “traitor” sign.
There was a section of fans in right field who chanted the All-Star second baseman “sold out”, which coming from fans of a team that routinely outbids everyone else for a player’s services is mind boggling.
Since this series is the only trip to Yankee Stadium by the Mariners during the regular season, fans of the pinstripes will have just two more opportunities to let Robinson Cano have it. Rest assured that will happen.
