Sweet, Bro

One of the most memorable moments of the very boring televised 2018 MLB Draft occurred during 2nd round with the 61st pick overall. The Yankees were on the clock, and former Yankee Nick Swisher was selected to announce the pick.

As many know, and some are irritated by, Nick Swisher likes to have a good time. He's always smiling and goofing off, but he's genuinely just an enthusiastic, energetic person. Many of his post-game interviews included the saying, "bro." It doesn't matter who asked the question. "Bro" was part of his response.

It was all too ironic then that with the 61st pick, announced by Swisher, the Yankees selected Josh Breaux, a junior college catcher. All of those letters at the end of his name form an "O" sound. So yes, his name is Josh "Bro."

Nick Swisher got to announce the newest Yankees, Josh "Bro."

Breaux is currently in Staten Island, and was kind enough to sign my card in just 10 days. I also included a Nick Swisher card for him to keep (which he did), since they'll always be linked together because of Draft night.

  1. Thats really awesome! Nick Swisher would be perfect for MLB Network. I can just see him, Mark deRosa, and Eric Byrnes having some very imtellectual fun conversations. Haha

    1. Love Swisher's personality! Byrnes too. They're both so laid back.
