David Cone Calls Ichiro’s Bat a Chopstick on YES Broadcast
By John Parent
The New York Yankees held off Boston in extra innings on Tuesday. The win meant New York clinched at least a share of first place in the AL East. Unfortunately, the Yankee win won’t be the story of the game.
Yankees broadcaster David Cone, while describing the replay of an at bat by outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, referred to Suzuki’s bat as a “chopstick.”
Not sure how long the video will be active before MLBAM takes it down, but for now at least, you can hear the comment for yourself below.
