Sonny Gray Heads to Yankee Stadium, Unfazed by Boos

Sonny Gray is scheduled to pitch at Yankee Stadium in a Red Sox uniform for Game 2 of the wild card series. Gray, who previously played for the Yankees from 2017-2018, had expressed his displeasure with his time in New York. He anticipates a high-energy, intense playoff atmosphere during the upcoming game.

Gray stated he is not trying to control fan reception, accepting it "will be what it will be" and focusing on his own performance. He views his past experience in New York as a period of unfamiliarity that, while challenging, ultimately contributed to his growth as a person and a player.

His ultimate goal is to win a World Series with the Boston Red Sox. Gray approaches the game as another opportunity to play Red Sox baseball, focusing on taking it "one pitch, one at-bat, one inning, one day" at a time.
