As Robinson Cano stood at his locker late Friday afternoon, he said returning to Yankee Stadium — where he flourished as a power-hitting second baseman — was no longer a big deal. He had been gone for more than a year, so playing here is no different from playing anywhere.
“Now, it’s like any other team,” Cano said of the Yankees.
Then Cano went to the field for batting practice. He sneaked up behind a stadium security guard, whom he embraced. He chatted with his former teammates. He signed autographs and mugged for fans who called out to him.
