Ralph Yarl is a sixteen year old Black teenager who was going to pickup his younger twin brothers at a friend’s house in Kansas City. He mistakenly went to the wrong house.

The weight can be enormous. It’s New York. It’s the Yankees. It’s the position played by one of the all time greats and Hall of Famer. The Captain. There have been a few players who’ve played the position since Derek Jeter retired in 2014. But not with the promise of Anthony Volpe, a twenty-one year
