Not even the coronavirus pandemic kept Aaron Boone away from his players following the postponement of the start of 2020 season.
Boone, the Yankees’ manager, made waves on social media that March when he recorded and lent his voice to a clip of pitcher Gerrit Cole throwing with his pregnant wife, Amy, at their Greenwich, Conn., home. The viral video was an example of Boone, 48, linking up with his players when baseball is out of season. He notably visited Gary Sánchez in the catcher’s native Dominican Republic after a disappointing 2018 campaign and planned a similar trip to see Miguel Andújar, among others, in January 2020.
