Kevin Kiermaier’s Plan to Keep Warm in New York Is a Full-Body Coat of Vaseline

The weather in New York today is about as bad as it can possibly be. Not only are temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, it’s also windy and rainy. I wore my winter coat and boots to work. Kevin Kiermaier can’t do the same at his job—playing centerfield for the Rays against the Yankees in the Bronx—so he’s got a different idea.

Ok, I asked Kevin Kiermaier about the vaseline. He’s serious about it, and said he’s heard from other guys who have tried it that it’s just another layer the cold and wind has to go through.
