On Thursday, the New York Yankees divided their doubleheader victories with the Chicago White Sox, losing the initial game 6-5 but securing the second match 3-0.
An unlikely hero emerged, contributing significantly to their offensive efforts – a player whose role had been under scrutiny for months but who now seems to have established his place in the team: Willie Calhoun.
The once highly-touted prospect, now 28, went 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, two runs, and three total RBI across the two games, demonstrating his substantial progress since spring training and evolving into a credible threat.
