Nick Swisher revels in All-Star experience, Derek Jeter fails to bring outfielder back to earth
ANAHEIM - Phil Hughes is the baby among the Yankees at this All-Star Game, yet it was Nick Swisher whom the Old Guard tried to punk here as a first-timer. Why? Well, because he’s Nick Swisher.
His teammates have learned to embrace his loud, loose, hip-hop personality, but they also thought he should pay for his All-Star exuberance – or perhaps for becoming the first player to tweet his way onto the team via the fan vote for the final spot.
So none other than Derek Jeter organized an attempted prank by trying to convince Swisher he was supposed to wear his Yankee uniform to the interview session at the hotel ballroom Monday at which everyone wears street clothes.
