Didi Gregorius is a man of many talents -- Yankees shortstop, painter, friend to man and emoji. On Wednesday, though, Gregorius added yet another line to his business card: international soccer sensation.
The new Yankee Stadium might be the House That Jeter Built, but the Yanks aren't the only ones playing in the Bronx -- the park also serves as the home of NYCFC of MLS, who have won five of their last six and now lead the Eastern Conference. Realizing the importance of occasional bonding between roommates -- and that real must always recognize real -- Gregorius took some time to hang out with the club's star striker, David Villa. And as it turns out ... he's pretty good himself:
Villa later returned the favor, taking in the Bombers' 5-0 win over the Orioles -- and presumably trying to convince Paul O'Neill to try out for the team.
