It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This wasn’t one of the best weeks of the season, as the Yankees decided to start their June Swoon early this year with a couple of bad stretches of baseball in the month of May. Thanks in part to the Knicks’ success, however, social media has remained buzzing within the Yankees Universe. With so much to do, let’s get started!
Eastern Conference Finals
During the offseason, members of the New York Yankees, both past and present, spend quite a bit of time at Madison Square Garden to catch the Knicks and the Rangers. The regular season, of course, brings this to a grinding halt, as the players have a few more important things to worry about, but a deep playoff run causes a lot of former players to forego Yankee Stadium for a trip to the world’s most famous arena. This week, Alex Rodriguez and CC Sabathia were in attendance for the Knicks’ Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Earlier in the week, Sabathia also commented on his Facebook about the Knicks’ improbable 22-point comeback that gave them a 1-0 series lead:

A-Rod Teaches Base Stealing
Speaking of third basemen, Alex Rodriguez took to Instagram to post a video on the art of the stolen base. While more known for his power, A-Rod did have some wheels, stealing 329 bases over the course of his career.
Game Belts
The Yanks may not have passed around the Game Belt as much as we’d have liked, but we still saw a couple of Ws this week.
Dave’s Thoughts
As always, Yankees radio voice Dave Sims took to Instagram to react to the Yankees’ games this week.
