I really can't believe how big of a Yankees fan he is. Usually players are lowkey or don't grow up rooting for any teams.
He pretty much stopped talking to his hometown team (Angels).
Revofev, Hi. Well Jeter was from Michigan and he always said he grew up a Yankees fan.
Sonny Corleone jeter is from jersey..
@@killjoy117007 sorry. You are correct. I will shut up now.
Nigel Ortiz Maybe grew up in Jersey. He played highschool in Kalamazoo tho
His story is amazing. Any Yankee fan probably at one time or another dreamt of playing for them in Yankee stadium. Garret Cole not only achieved the ultimate dream, but he got their largest contract to date to do it. He must be the happiest guy in the world right now.
The question is will he live up to the hype and that contract? Seen it so many times before where guys sign big money deals and fall short. Speaking as an Orioles fan for our sake I hope he doesn't measure up!
Patrick Small your an Orioles fan? My Condolences
giovanni Libonati nah prolly a Red Sox fan
Dude is a true Yankee fan. Knows about the team and history. Cant wait for 2020. Them pinstripes 🔥
Absolutely brotha. The new decade will bring new Chips. This guy seems real chill and is a real professional 🗽😎
absolutely
He Reminds Me of David Wells. Not the way He Pitches But, For the Love of Playing as a NEW YORK YANKEE.
David Wells -- Huge, Huge Yankees Fan & OFCOURSE!!! A HUGE BABE RUTH FAN!!
GERRIT COLE -- HUGE YANKEES FAN!!! & NOW THE NEW ACE OF THE YANKEES!!
NOW THAT'S ONE HECK OF A WAY OF YOUR DREAMS COMING TRUE.
He’s a true Yankee without yet throwing a pitch for them 💯💯💪🏼
😂😂😂😂
John M 325 made him a true Yankee. I’m a Yankee fan. I don’t like the move. First he made the comments to the press after the World Series. Yankees need hitters to hit in the playoffs.
Jeff Gobler they needed pitching this offseason. Cc is gone, Domingo Germán is suspended. And sevy isn’t back to himself yet
Agent Gooby cc hasn’t been relevant for years. Pitching wasn’t the issue in the playoffs. It’s our hitting. Judge hides. Now miggy is back and they want to trade him to the brewers for another pen guy. Miggy has struggle at third but a world better then gio. Gio was a fluke last season. Miggy is a star.
Miguel is overrated. We need to spice up our bullpen. I’d definitely rather have hader than miggy. Chapman isn’t the same anymore. He isn’t consistent and he has trouble pitching to left handed batters. Gio is fine we can live without miggy
Without his facial hair, guy looks like a completely different dude.
Reacted the same way when the Yankees first got James Paxton
Yeah, he looks like a corporate killer(or NYPD PO), whereas before, he looked like a member of Hells Angels.
He looks like a yankee now 🙏
had no idea he sounds like this, i always thought he had like a southern accent from his beard and hair lol
Will Lemond Grew up in So Cal
He’s been interviewed after a million games.
I'm a Astros fan being born in Houston but seeing him play since college and the fans that knew about him before signing to the Astros he always had his heart at New York since he was a kid. Yes we lost our Ace and now that Verlander is basically done and can't carry the defensive side of my team and I wish him all but the best and I will watch the Yankees more this year because mark my word....they will make it to the world series in 2020. He has all the defensive and offensive needed to go deep in the ballpit to face any issues that will come at them. I'm happy for him
Respeto para ti
My friend, THANK YOU! It’s going to be a Very Interesting year! We WILL see the Astros in the Playoffs, that I’m certain of.
@@TIM.DREAMZ depends on what punishments come from the league for cheating
You're a class act my friend. Well said.
Respect
Pinstripes make the Man! Boy does he look young without the beard!
Yes he does 😂
made him looks like a 22 years old😂
Boy do I love this guy! Grew up a Yankee fan, intelligent, thoughtful. Gonna be a great Yankee! So looking forward to the Gerrit Cole era!
He's very well spoken he feels so much different in an interview than on TV.
hey they finally made a video without LeBron James in it for once
The more I hear him in interviews, the more I endear him as a true diehard Yankee fan. He knows the history & the players growing up. He’s pretty genuine on it too. I like to believe that his interview answers are not rehearsed & are coming straight out from his heart. This dude bleed blue pinstripes & I really feel that we have a great shot this season to go all the way. Just win it & this $324m man is basically priceless. Go yanks!!!
Can’t wait! Go Yankees Go!
'It looks good on ya' lol $300M+ looks great! Congratulations to him and his family!
He’s a great player and guy! Best of luck Gerrit!!
Him shaving his beard makes him look 10 years older
Patience pays off we as yankee fans have been crying for pitching for about 4 years he is now here in a big way I can feel a magical season on the horizon
2 months ago today, I hated Gerrit Cole. But now I LOVE him!!
(Because he’s a Yankee now instead of an Astro)
Yikes
Even though we have great new talent and personality with Cole on the team, I'm still going to miss CC and Didi. They created lots of energy in the dugout and were true team players.
RayRay 711 Agreed!
Such a dope story. The sign being kept is the icing on the cake. That my friends is what you call a dream come true.
On a side note: Not really digging the Nike Swoosh on the jersey. Really hurting the classic Pinstripes. Get that thing off there!
I agree 100%, no names on the back of our jerseys and no Nike swoosh. I think the Nike logo would look a lot cleaner on the sleeve of the jerseys they way they do with the NFL jerseys.
I just read that MLB actually presented Nike with two options: pay X amount of money for the uniform contract, & if they wanted to put the Nike swoosh on the front of the jerseys they would have to pony up more money and of course Nike paid the extra money. I don’t blame Nike as much as I do MLB for actually offering that option.
My favorite team as a kid offers me 360 mil to go play for them: “This was a difficult decision for me.” Yeah, right! lol
I know right! 😃
Good luck Cole, I hope you live up to the expectations of the Yankees, fans and please don’t get hurt in 2020 season.
What a personality!!!He's the man!!!
Welcome home Garrett it's been long overdue.
That’s everyone’s dream to play for the team u grew up rooting for. Must be an amazing moment for him
That sign belongs in the HOF.
Not a yankee fan but RIP to the rest of the AL East
😂 no
Astros won without him 2017 they can do it again
Kyra Santos True, but they’re in the west.
I'm a Jays fan and I agree...the east is fucked
Kyra Santos because they cheated
He seems sooooo happy!!!!
ESPN: You said the other day that this was a hard decision, what made it difficult for you?
Cole: That I had to shave. 😂
where is Gerrit Cole????
That family who made the sign must want to sale that sign on Ebay so badly now XDD
Does this dude know how to speak on interviews or what? Holy Shite
Right ! I was completely taken Off Guard when I heard him speak in The press conference was very charismatic beyond his years.
Looks older without the Beard lol 😂
Your blind
yep. looks like peyton mannings fatter young brother.
go yankees
Yeah
@@user-qb1lq9xf1d You're*
I can’t wait for the 2020 season
Making that sign every game i go to where he starts
Welcome home buddy
I wish him well, I like what he did this year as a baseball fan I just want to see someone pumping 300 ks a season. He’s a beast
I can't believe you here Cole's you are a Yankee congratulations
Much love from Pittsburgh! Boy are we jealous of what you’ve become😂 Gerrit’s the man tho- wishing him good luck always. A great ambassador for the game of baseball!
Yeah, wearing a Scott Boras cap in an Astros uniform is being a, “great ambassador,” for baseball.
Okay seriously his story just keeps getting better and better ❤️
Have fun going out in the divisional round, yet again.
Very happy he’s a Yankee!
Can’t wait for the season to start.
Throughout the interview I was also thinking one thing.
He KNOWS the identity of the trashcan banger!
Right! lol. I’m an Astros fan and I would have asked him that question. This guy should have asked him that!!
What Pittsburgh is much much colder than N Y bronx
I love this signing but RIP Yankees ticket sales. Those prices are going 🚀🚀
Awe, How can you hate this? I mean I know Astros fans are a bit hurt by it. But he was always a big yankees fan. Just like former pitcher David Wells his dream was to pitch for The Yankees and he did and won a WS with them. Like, people can't stand the Yankees for their past success but you can't knock them . Yankees have always been a powerhouse since Babe Ruth was traded there from The red Sox in The 20's or was it 1918? Can't remember, Lol but Good for him. I hope he proves the haters wrong and wins at least 1 or 2.
Awsome
Cole is amazing on the mic.
@Odins Spear 😂😂😂
13 Red sox fans don't like this. Let's go yanks!!
Thanks for helping him find his strengths Houston! we will send you a postcard from the parade
You threw a parade for this guy, then. You’re certainly not talking about a WS parade! lol
He has a good idea of how the call signs cause bang bang bang bang on the trash can
He Reminds Me of David Wells. Not the way He Pitches But, For the Love of Playing as a NEW YORK YANKEE.
David Wells -- Huge, Huge Yankees Fan & OFCOURSE!!! A HUGE BABE RUTH FAN!!
GERRIT COLE -- HUGE YANKEES FAN!!! & NOW THE NEW ACE OF THE YANKEES!!
NOW THAT'S ONE HECK OF A WAY OF YOUR DREAMS COMING TRUE.
He can thank Brent Strom for making him the pitcher he is
I don’t wanna hear that “oh Yankees have to go out and buy the best players to win” yankees drafted this man right out of high school but he wanted to go to UCLA and became a better pitcher.
And then they had to, “go out and buy him.”
Jeff Brown I don’t know if you can buy people anymore smh
Cory Host “Oh, I think 300-plus mil will buy most anyone. smh faster..
Good riddance. Where’s his Scott Boras cap?
Jeff Brown put away. He’s on a storied franchise now as opposed to a cheating one.
That’s me at 1:28
Let’s go Garrett Cole
How and why did his sign turn yellow?
Jeff Brown its 18 years old and it faded
Where’s Gerrit Cole here?
Nike logo on the jersey? What is your problem, Manfred? >:(
He needs to be in a room with Patrick mahomes I swear they sorta sound the same
Are the MLB & Nike working together? If it's true, then I'm excited!!!
Yes
Hate to be that guy but it's *then, not than.
@@rustyshackleford2703 you're not wrong
@@faisalsalam4161 It's okay. I h8 myself too.
Rusty Shackleford this is the kind of interaction I come to YT for
Cole a life-long NYY fan yet he Yanks still had to overpay to sign him lol. Not even normal market value, a straight-up overpay.
Yep, no (home team discount). He’ll be dead weight in a few years. Yankees had better win now to get any value out of him.
The real question is when Astro is been cheating will all player get ban , suspension,?
No, the manager, owner and general manager will be the ones fined and/or suspended.
Alex Sandoval Probably not, but we will see. I think Hinch will get at least half a season and the GM probably a full one. Players probably no suspensions and the owner definitely a huge fine.
Last night the Tampa Bay Rays reintroduced Gerrit Cole to the offseason.
How could you not be happy after $324 million?
Go Yankees !
I'll like him with the beard he look real good with the yankees pinstripe on
He's such a big fan of the Yankees he was drafted by them in 2008 and elected not to sign with them.
I thought Jeter only did that after someone spent the night with him, Jeter may be getting a call from the police now lol
Yuck!!
Smile too the bank
My man looks almost unrecognizable.
Well then he needs to throw and play catch with derick Jeter the first day of practice
How do you think the people that made the sign feel right now?
Nate C ...it’s irrelevant!! Without Cole the sign has NO VALUE!! 🎳
Wow that first question was dumb
In 5 years Cashman will be trying to void the deal. Good luck Gerrit.
I bet he grew up liking the angels or dodgers
He grew up a Yankee fan, he said that in the interview. He's a lifelong Yankee and knows a lot about the organization and it's history. Being in the pinstripes means a lot to him.
A lot of money for the second best pitcher in New York
Found the met fan
Frank I don’t get much Frank
Imagine blackmon or kuechel on the yankees
Why did he shave it now he shoulda done like gleyber the mid game shave y’all remember that.
Yankees are still gonna get there way. Its the money that is the difference. Not the talent of the team.
Why does he look 65
What if his beard was what gave him his pitching power?! 😱
He's one of those "I don't live in NY, but I don't know which team to root for, so I'll be a Yankees fan" people? I mistakenly respected him. Thanks for doing your part to make baseball games more expensive.
What team will finally take down the Evil Empire in 2020?
The Pope Of Sports and Entertainment lol ok??
Looks like an accountant
Michael Linn Jr he sure is counting a lot of money!
He sure does
YK 15 He’s trash
Another reason the Dodgers belong back in Brooklyn….
R the letter gold now tho? Hm
Houston will always hold a place for The Cole Train
Traitor. The Yankees offered you the most money and you know it.
Strange Roamer why does that make him a traitor? Please explain? I guarantee you If you had $324 million shoved in your face you would take that contract just like he did so let’s not talk about him being a traitor he was offered a contract for the most money and the most years and he took it. oh and not to mention he looks happy to be a yankee
@@Justiceforall55 It's called free agency. Verlander was from the tiger's originally.
Sonny Corleone lol Justin Verlander? we are talking gerret cole and why are you questioning me? Are you okay? And cole was from the pirates went to Astros and is now with the Yankees. Justin Verlander and the tigers have nothing to do with this conversation unless you wanna say him and cole were teammates. Lol
listening to him speak exposes the Yankees biggest mistake!!! trading quality catchers!!! Sanchez is a lazy catcher and no matter how he hits (never in the clutch) you cant get around it. He is NOT a team player and depending on his mood he may not even chase a ball or run out a play. BIG MISTAKE!!
I'd get out of Houston too. What an embarrassment! Heavy punishment coming for them and some real lowlife scum players.
His hands are already dirty. No NY bath will wash them off, either.
Ball is still only worth $5!!
Yankees gotta get rid of the no facial hair rule
dude is pretty jowly, i can see why he keeps a beard
Your Yankees can't wait for the season start
He looks good shaved, as a 20 year old with an incoming beard it’s fucking annoying shaving every other day
I HATE the Nike Symbol destroying the Yankees jersey
Qual seria a razão amigo?
I really think the Yankees should eliminate the face shaving rule, because I notice that when the Yankees high price free agents leave the team, one of the first things they do is grow facial hairs. lol
The Shave does not look good on him💀
21 salty Astro fans
K O_o
Gerrit Cole looks so much more INTIMIDATING with the beard! I sure hope that he is not like Samson. For those of you who do'n't understand what I'm talking about just google Samson hair.
Are you referring to the Samson and Delilah story from the bible?
@@suzanner1630 Yes I am. You know that but I was guessing that many people wouldn't understand what I was talking about.
Aside from a really HOT wife, calculate gets paid avg $700k per start? that's like $10k per pitch? Help me with the math...silly
Avg. $1.1 mil per start and approximately $11k per pitch.
Thats insane... Joe Maria...
He still needs to cut his hair shorter. It's dumb Yankees need to be clean shave, this is not the 1950's anymore.
Yeah this rule is waaaaay outdated
I know its literally so dumbb, they need to get rid of this. its 2020
No he trimmed it. The hair can’t pass the neck. But true it is a very dated and out of touch policy
@@joeburreaux7806 its because george went to a military academy
I don't see it as dumb or outdated. There are plenty of jobs and organizations that require their employees to be clean shaven. It looks professional and is a good image to have imo. Having been a Yankee fan for all my life (growing up in Bronx especially) it's the look I'm used to for the team and even I have had experiences where I had to look clean. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of course but there's nothing bad about that policy to me.
