New York native Logan O'Hoppe grew up as a Yankees fan, and now he'll be able to play in a stadium that holds a special meaning to him and his family.
. The O’Hoppe family contingent has one seat they purchased but intentionally left vacant for Tuesday’s game.
Playing at Yankee Stadium represents a homecoming of sorts for O’Hoppe. The rookie catcher from Sayville, which is on Long Island, grew up a Yankees fan. Thinking about Aunt Dana before Tuesday’s game, he got choked up. Dana was the best friend of Logan’s mom, Angela O’Hoppe. Last year, when Logan got his first call-up, Angela told“She told Logan from the hospital bed, and he was only 15, she said, ‘My superstar nephew. You have all the tools to make it. And I will be watching from heaven. My nephew, starting catcher.”
Angels’ Logan O’Hoppe wears a kabuto while celebrating in the dugout after hitting a home run during the sixth inning against the Washington Nationals at Angel Stadium on April 11. O’Hoppe’s career has continued to include so much more success since that first call-up: getting the starting catching job out of spring training, leadingin home runs this season and having the second-most RBIs on the team, among his notables for this year.
