Last spring, Joe Girardi took his players on a surprise trip to a pool hall, giving his team a chance to bond away from the field before the exhibition season started.So if you were Girardi what activity would you pick?
Girardi plans on repeating that move on Tuesday, and while he plans to switch up the setting - he won't say what the team will be doing, but it won't be a pool tournament - the idea behind the day away from baseball remains the same.
"I think it probably helps in terms of getting more time to get to know guys," Derek Jeter said. "In spring training, everyone is on different schedules. I don't even see half the pitchers until they're on the mound. Pitchers are in one place, hitters are in another, the fields are split up; to get everyone together like that is good."
