When a 10-year-old girl shared her story online about being bullied for four years, the New York Yankees Baseball players took it to heart and sent her notes of support back. The girl had put a video online holding up pieces of paper to tell her story about being bullied. In return the Yankees put together a similar video letting her know they were on her side and supported her.

Some of the things said by the Yankees were “My teammates and I wanted you to know that we care about you” -C.C. Sabathia. “You showed courage and strength in sharing your story”. “You are not alone, Count the New York Yankees among your friends” -Aaron Judge. “Bullying is WRONG” -Brett Gardner. The last message shown by multiple Yankee’s players was “Got your back”.

This small action taken by the Yankees to help one young girl was enough to spark emotions in all those who watch it. By watching the video you feel a deeper connection to the Yankees and even if you aren’t a Yankees fan you take it upon yourself to respect the team and what they stand for.

The Yankees over many years have built up a respectful reputation. This is one action that helped them to reestablish their reputation. They are a team that is looked up to and has values that they follow. They are one of the most well known teams in the country and are able to have a huge impact on the little girl and to all those out there who may be bullied.

Kids who are bullied can look at this video and take it to heart because truly the Yankees have more than just the 10-year-old’s back they also have all those who are bullied’s backs. They are a great team with a huge heart and have made an impact on so many people’s lives through things such as this video.
