We were lucky to watch and cheer for a pitcher that set records right before our eyes, a raw talent that only comes along every few decades, or more. We got to experience Gerrit Cole setting franchise and Major League records as an Astro. We felt his gritty determination with every pitch and enjoyed the triumphs right along with him.
Now, Cole is off on another adventure, with a different team, and will be cheered by new fans. Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees have agreed to a 9-year, $324 million contract, a record high.
