Gary Sanchez has a request for New York Yankees fans.
Sanchez went 1-for-4 in the Yankees’ 6-5 walk-off win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night. He hit a tying home run in the ninth before Luke Voit won it two batters later.
Sanchez has been hot, clubbing six home runs in the Yankees’ last 12 games. He said it’s been nice having support from the fans. Sanchez wished that he would receive the same support even when he’s struggling, though he knows it might not be realistic.
That is wishful thinking.
Yankees fans are tough, just like Philly fans and Boston fans. They will cheer you and love you when you are helping the team win. But if you’re not performing, don’t expect much sympathy.
The best thing Sanchez can do is keep hitting like he has been.
