Red Sox OF ingratiating himself to fans with snub of Yankees image

Boston Red Sox outfielder Rob Refsnyder is having the best season of his professional career so far, hitting .337 with two home runs 13 RBIs and a .939 OPS in 30 games.

While he's been known as a lefty killer (career .275 batting average and .767 OPS), he's been even better against righties this year (.340 average and a .979 OPS).

Refsnyder's play on the field hasn't been the only thing helping him earn favor with fans, he's also snubbing the New York Yankees in a recent video posted by NESN, the Red Sox's television broadcast partner.

In this short video for Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Refsnyder shares his background from being adopted from Korea to making it in the MLB. However, he refuses to mention that the Yankees drafted him.

If you rake on the field and throw shade at the Yankees, you'll be a fan favorite.
