Yankees infielder David John LeMahieu is not a curtain call kind of guy. He’s not crazy about swarms of TV cameras, either.
So the former Rockies All-Star second baseman was out of his comfort zone Friday when he returned to Coors Field for the first time since 2018.
About three hours before the game, LeMahieu sat in the visitors’ dugout, surrounded by reporters and cameras, as he fielded questions.
How did he feel about returning to the ballpark he called home from 2012 to ’18? “Weird, but overall it’s good to be back here.”
LeMahieu made it clear that he valued his time in Colorado, where he evolved from a part-time player into one of the best — although underrated — second basemen in baseball.
