Summary

A Spring Training bomb has Yankees fans buzzing. After top prospect George Lombard Jr. crushed a homer off Garrett Crochet, Evan makes a bold prediction about when the young infielder could reach the Bronx and whether he might beat Anthony Volpe to a big league appearance this season. Then things take a classic WFAN turn. A caller floats Isaiah Likely as a potential Giants addition, sparking a debate about the team’s tight end situation and the frustration surrounding Theo Johnson. But the real chaos comes off the field. Evan defends his extremely controversial method of eating chicken wings with a fork and napkin, pitching a new invention that could change wing eating forever. Plus, the guys react to a hilarious new nickname suggestion for a certain Yankees defender in the newsroom. From Yankees prospect hype to chicken wing etiquette and classic WFAN callers, this segment has a little bit of everything.
