Harrison Bader, centerfielder for the New York Yankees had a large part in the defeat the New York Yankees handed to the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Division Series.

On August 2, 2022, the St. Louis Cardinals traded Bader and a player to be named later to the Yankees for pitcher Jordan Montgomery. On Sept. 20, Bader had his first New York Yankees hit, driving in a run. But then, in Game 1 of the division series, Bader hit his first New York Yankees homer, and also hit three home runs in the first four games of the series, joining Bernie Williams and Mickey Mantle as the only Yankee centerfielders with three homers in a single postseason. In July, Bader is committed to play for Team Israel in the 2023 World Baseball Classic in Miami.

Harrison Bader is Jewish on his father’s side.

[Sadly, the New York Yankees lost the American Championship Series to the Houston Astros.]
