It\u2019s Sunday, and you know what that means \u2014 it\u2019s time for our weekly social media roundup! It\u2019s been a big week for New York sports, as the Knicks brought home the NBA Cup and to ensure that the Big Apple wouldn\u2019t end 2025 without a trophy of some kind. But what have our Yankees been up to while Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns conquered Vegas? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n
Welcome to the North Pole<\/p>\n
This week, the Yankees partnered with Aaron Judge\u2019s All Rise Foundation and Walmart for their 16th annual Winter Wonderland event. In addition to providing toys and books for children from the Bronx, the Yankees turned the Stadium into the North Pole, complete with food, holiday decorations, and musical performances.<\/p>\n
Happy Hanukkah!<\/p>\n
Yankees radio broadcaster Suzyn Waldman celebrated the first night of Hanukkah on Instagram earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Suzyn, she also posted a picture of her enjoying a night out with John Sterling and Meredith Marakovitz. It\u2019s good to see the gang taking the time to catch up in the offseason.<\/p>\n
The Turn 2 Foundation<\/p>\n
This week, Derek Jeter\u2019s Turn 2 Foundation hosted its annual golf invitational, raising $1.8 million. Unsurprisingly, Jeter\u2019s former teammate Bernie Williams was not only in attendance, but a performer at the event!<\/p>\n

Also in attendance was CC Sabathia, as well as Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson\u2019s Falcon\/Captain America in the Marvel movies.<\/p>\n
Serving up Rice<\/p>\n
Every December, the \u201cYou\u2019ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, but have you heard of [blank] on [blank]?\u201d meme returns with a vengeance. This year, the Somerset Patriots dug deep into the archives, finding a picture of Ben Rice during his high school hockey career, to bring us \u201cBen Rice on Ice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking of Rice, the Yankees\u2019 first baseman\/catcher\/designated hitter isn\u2019t exactly posting on his Instagram a lot, but fortunately for us, his partner drops some photo dumps every once in a while to give us a look behind the curtain.<\/p>\n
Good luck in Japan, Winans!<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Yankees Triple-A starter Allan Winans was released from his contract to pursue an opportunity in Japan. The right-hander took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the opportunity to don the pinstripes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Sunday, and you know what that means \u2014 it\u2019s time for our weekly social media roundup!
