The Boston Red Sox selected former Virginia catcher Kyle Teel with the No. 14 overall pick in Sunday’s MLB Draft, and of course baseball fans found a way to make it awkward.
If you’re an elite baseball player — one good enough to get drafted by an MLB team — odds are that you grew up rooting for a different team than the one that drafted you. And in Teel’s case, he grew up in New Jersey and was a huge Yankees fan. Right after the rival Red Sox announced the Teel selection, fans took a deep dive into his Instagram account and uncovered a photo of him wearing a Yankees jersey.
