TAMPA, Fla. -- As Spring Training comes closer to wrapping up, Greg Bird will be hoping his hot bat will be migrating with him to the regular season.
The 24-year-old Aurora, Colo., native has been on a tear this spring, hitting .444, with his seventh home run of the spring coming against Toronto's Mat Latos on Saturday in New York's 6-5 win. No Yankee had hit more than six Spring Training home runs in the past 11 years.
Sending balls flying over the fence is not all that Bird is doing.
