Last season the Yankees went on a field trip to a bowling alley in what was meant to be part team building exercise and part break in the monotony of spring training. Mariano Rivera dominated at pool so this season they decided to switch it up as manager Joe Girardi took them all to a video arcade where they competed video Indy Car racing, Skeeball, and pop-a-shot backetball.
“There will be three games that they are required to perform in,” he said. “We are looking for well-rounded, video arcade nuts. They will participate in Indy racing, skee and pop-a-shot. And during the time they are not participating, they are allowed to do whatever they want, play any games they want. I figure that there should be a gold medal, a silver medal and a bronze medal, but they will be in the order of gift certificates. I’m not going to buy medals.”
Other options were paintball, ping pong, bowling, and a pool party, but for one reason or another, mostly injury concerns, they opted against those.
