The father of Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt was a pilot on the team's charter flight to Florida on Thursday ahead of their weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
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."
