Yankees' charter to Florida flown by father of New York pitcher Clarke Schmidt

The New York Yankees’ charter flight to Florida for a three-game series at the Tampa Bay Rays had a familiar name in the cockpit.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone volunteered to join the flight crew.

“We were in Atlanta, I got to go on a flight simulator where he was my trainer,” Boone said. “That was pretty cool.” Clarke Schmidt said it was probably one of the team’s better flights as far as turbulence goes, but that his teammates were hypercritical on the landing a little bit. “He mentioned that we had crosswind,” Clarke Schmidt said. “But for the most part it was smooth sailing.”https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
