TAMPA, Fla. -- Even Zack Britton gets confused about the proper spelling of his first name.
Known throughout his baseball career as Zach, the 31-year-old New York Yankees reliever said last week that going forward his name should be spelled Zack.
"I was born with a 'ch,' sorry, excuse me, the 'ck," Britton said Monday after his first pre-spring training workout at the New York Yankees' minor league complex.
Britton was traded to the Yankees from Baltimore last summer, became a free agent and agreed to a $39 million, three-year contract with New York last month.
