Former Yankee and
current Phillies center fielder Marlon Byrd visits with Yankees
Over the Thanksgiving holidays, former
Yankee great and current Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Marlon Byrd
spent the afternoon visiting with the Yankees during some of their winter
workouts. Byrd spent several hours talking baseball, going over hitting
drills used by he and his fellow major leaguers, as well as answering questions
about his life in baseball and some of the inside scoop of what goes on
in the life of a major league rookie. This is the 3rd winter that
Marlon has taken time from his holiday visit with his family to spend several
hours with the team. Former Yankees Jeremy Hermida and Scott White
were also there to visit with Marlon, who has become one of their friends
and supporters over the past few seasons after working with them in the
past. Byrd currently lives in San Diego, where he works out in the
off season with Tony Gwynn, and brought many of Gwynn's drills, tips, and
ideas to the Yankees workout.
