Andrew Velazquez attended countless Yankee games as a kid, but he could not remember attending a matchup against the team’s most bitter rivals.
“Those tickets were probably too expensive for me,” Velazquez, a Bronx native, said Wednesday when asked if he had ever seen the Red Sox visit Yankee Stadium.
Velazquez, 27, spoke while wearing a fitted Yankees cap backward and a gray Yankees hoodie. Hardly unique apparel choices in Velazquez’s home borough, if not for the wrestling-style championship belt draped over his left shoulder.
Velazquez had one of the best seats in the house for the Yankees’ three-game sweep of Boston this week.
