I thought when I first read it that Pedroia loaned him two suits... Considering their height difference, that would have been a prank, not a favor.

Considering he grew up in Aruba, it's a good bet Xander never wore a suit until he came to the states and probably rarely saw people wearing one.

Pedroia being a bit of a father figure to the rook...

Im confused why and where these guys wear suits... MLB athletes and politicians are going to keep the suit industry alive I guess.

There's no way it would be family friendly.

Kind of surprised they'd do this before a Yankee game on a Friday night. These are the types of things they usually do on a Tuesday against the Twins or something to get a few more asses in the seats so they must be working around whatever schedule has Pedroia available.

Or that a non-sellout on a Friday Yankees game is more embarrassing than a Tuesday Twins . . .
