BOSTON -- This year has been unlike anything Gary Sanchez has experienced on a baseball field.
It has been physically demanding, mentally draining, humbling and, at times, humiliating.
"This definitely won't be a season that's going to be one of my favorites," the New York Yankees' embattled 25-year-old catcher said through an interpreter earlier this week.
From injuries to poor hitting to disastrous defense, just about anything that could have gone wrong for Sanchez this season has. Along the way, Sanchez has gone from a presumptive franchise cornerstone to being roundly regarded with disdain by a fan base upset he hasn't shown more.
