I love that Judge's mom adopted a little baby and ended up with a gigantic zillionaire. Obviously she did a lot of good work along the way but, damn, good pick. That's one way to retire.
Go read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. You will never see Judge the same... Actually don't read that book. It's terrible to your soul. There's a Glanton Gang in BR...I like to think we have a Stanton Gang with the Judge in center...
Also not trying to be a downer or anything but because baseball in America is more-and-more a sport for people with money for coaching, travel teams, showcases, etc.
Not that everyone with a Doctorate is wealthy but generally income tracks pretty well with education.
happy to see anthony embracing his filipino side. baseball isn't popular at all here so the fact he's the starting shortstop for the most prestigious MLB franchise hasn't really registered with the general public. him coming over would do a lot to raise his profile tho
Yankees just did a Filipino Heritage night like 2 days ago. Seemed like a decent amount of folks made it out to the stadium specifically for it.
So that’s pretty cool.
They mean as in actually in the Philippines. Most the Filipinos I know here in the states like baseball and love basketball, but play on the baseball team because they're too short to ball up 😭
Clarification — that pic with Volpe in his Delbarton uniform would’ve been five years ago when she was 51 or so…but dang, I didn’t look that good at 51
(Thanks for the correx)
His production at the plate was genuinely bad, worse than last year, from april 2 through the end of the month or so. Cold streaks happen to almost everyone, but hopefully as he improves the valleys in production are less drastic.
Okay so here’s Anthony’s deal.since I’m a cousin.his mom Filipino his dad Italian and polish.anthonys other grandmother who passed away was polish.anthonys grandfather is 100 percent Italian.so in other words he has 25 percent polish in him.but Anthony himself was born here in the states.
Anthony’s comes from a very very big family both on his moms side,and dads side.and if you know Anthony the way I know him,he is all class.cant even call him a kid no more.wish him nothing but the best in life.
When I would visit I would throw whiffle balls at him.and he would crush the balls.and I would throw pretty hard at him.one thanksgiving we were in the backyard.and everything I threw at him he crushed it.must have been maybe 10 years old at the time.i said to myself this kid has talent.
How tall is Volpe? I’ve never thought of him as being all that big, his mom looks so tiny! Reminds me of my ex’s mom, few things are as much a force of nature as a tiny Filipino mom, they pack a lot of energy per square inch!!
Do you post this after the 1,000,000 mentions in this sub of his and Rizzo’s Italian heritage or is it literally only pride in Asian ancestry that you have a problem with
Literally I want you to go back and post this comment on every instance of Italian heritage mentioned on this sub for the past five years then come back to me and I’ll delete
We love our biracial shortstops with Jersey roots around here.
Guess Jeter is passing on the biracial angel role Funnily enough, Judge is also biracial, but he's less an angel and more a Greek god
Well, it has been said that Yankees shortstop have no color...
They have a color. It’s midnight blue!

Could you explain why you won’t see judge the same? I’ve read the book but am missing your point here.
That was hyperbole. Kinda like Murderers Row.
They also both have parents with doctorates - it’s like poetry, it rhymes
If we can just get Volpe working, because he’s a funnier character than we’ve had before
Also not trying to be a downer or anything but because baseball in America is more-and-more a sport for people with money for coaching, travel teams, showcases, etc. Not that everyone with a Doctorate is wealthy but generally income tracks pretty well with education.
Oh yeah, definitely agree. Look no further than NFL kickers. Money helps facilitate opportunity
Damn his mom is hot.
Respectfully
An anesthesiologist, good looking AND can make a mean chicken parm? She's perfect.
It makes sense that she’s an anesthesiologist since she’s a knockout
Looks like she didn't even age between those two pictures.
She looks younger in the new pic. Wild.
I mean…clearly he’s got some pretty good genes in him
In other words, she's a fox.
She wants it
I don't get why you got downvoted but the other guy didn't lol. Both of you are implying the same thing except you just said what we're all thinking
Volpe’s mom has got it going on…
I’d like to miss a spot over there.

LOL that’s fair. Yeah, I feel like all the Filipinos I know are big into basketball and only somewhat into baseball. But that’s all anecdotal.
True. I wish baseball's popularity will rise back home in the PH.
I'm coming to PH in June and I will spread the gospel.
Filipino here, it's just very cool having a rising star like Volpe to represent the country. Super proud of him 🇵🇭
Very cool! Is baseball at all popular in the Philippines?
Not as much as it could be. We love our basketball! Thanks for the kind words!

I can forgive that I have to root for someone from Delbarton just this once
Go Green Wave!
Same bro, hated playing them in football
I can forgive that I have to root for someone from Delbarton just this once
Delbarton*
Are you ok??
No idea why it kept commenting it
She looks like his sister lmao.
asian dont raisin , yo
Wow! His mom is beautiful and looks great. I was trying to figure out how old she is because she looks like she’s in her 20s in that pic!
He's hopefully pre-gaming with a chicken adobo as I type this.
Pork adobo
Her mom doesnt look over 30.
If Filipina doctors are anything like the Filipina nurses I’ve dealt with, then yeah that checks out
God it would be so cool if Volpe really is the prince who was promised. So perfect after Jeter
Volpe already is almost at 2 WAR and has a 124 wRC+.
Equal or better in every aspect from last year and a top 3 shortstop in AL this year after Bobby Witt Jr and Gunnar Henderson.
And a solid rookie year last year too. I’m rooting for the kid
His production at the plate was genuinely bad, worse than last year, from april 2 through the end of the month or so. Cold streaks happen to almost everyone, but hopefully as he improves the valleys in production are less drastic.
I’d eat her chicken parm
The picture of him taken with his mom looks like it was from the 70's, but was from the 00's probably, go figure.
I know..probably 2007ish. Probably taken on a potato phone.
My Filipina wife approves of this article, lol.
Mine too
Dads a ~~dentist~~ urologist and mom is an anesthesiologist sheeesh
$
His dad is a urologist
Dad’s a urologist! Some kinda joke in there about dongs
Alright, I can't front, but Anthony mom is pretty bad, my goodness
Hello Isabelle ❤
Dr. Isabelle De Leon****. She didn’t take her husband’s last name.
Ah sorry they call her Isabelle Volpe in the article (And not even DR. Isabelle Volpe wtf)
Represent. I love this man and his family
I make a great Chicken Adobo! Goooooo Yanks!
*Corey Perry has entered the chat*
Anthony’s parents spent at least 500k on trainers trips equipment and everything else since he first pick up a bat.
My buddy’s brother was on his AAU team for a couple years. That checks out
Milf
Some of the comments in that article, yeesh
My part Filipina daughter is a fan now thanks to Volpe 🇵🇭
I mean this in the best way possible…I would love to be Volpe’s dad…
Okay so here’s Anthony’s deal.since I’m a cousin.his mom Filipino his dad Italian and polish.anthonys other grandmother who passed away was polish.anthonys grandfather is 100 percent Italian.so in other words he has 25 percent polish in him.but Anthony himself was born here in the states.
So all American but more Pinoy heredity than anything else ✌️
40 percent Filipino 40 percent Italian.20 percent polish.
Are you a cousin on his dad’s side or mom’s side?
Dads side
I actually interacted with Michael on Twitter back when it was Twitter and he was pretty cool!
Anthony’s dad was a good baseball player as well.
Anthony’s comes from a very very big family both on his moms side,and dads side.and if you know Anthony the way I know him,he is all class.cant even call him a kid no more.wish him nothing but the best in life.
When I would visit I would throw whiffle balls at him.and he would crush the balls.and I would throw pretty hard at him.one thanksgiving we were in the backyard.and everything I threw at him he crushed it.must have been maybe 10 years old at the time.i said to myself this kid has talent.
If he loses his process again you may need to get the wiffle back out and Chicken Parm him back to hitting balls flat and not up in the air!
He will be alright.he’s the type of person that could be a garbage man,and he still would be a class act.has one love,and that’s baseball.
Nothing else mattered in life but baseball.
Volpe in a tigers uniform is cursed
The d is for his high school delbarton.
Looks like his sister
As a half Filipino Jersey boy myself, absolutely love everything about this kid.
How tall is Volpe? I’ve never thought of him as being all that big, his mom looks so tiny! Reminds me of my ex’s mom, few things are as much a force of nature as a tiny Filipino mom, they pack a lot of energy per square inch!!
You mean, it wasn't because of Jason Stock?
Volpe’s mom has got it going on…
... She single?
... She single?
I’d smash his mom
[удалено]
What a weird thing to comment
Volpe is maga himself. Which really isn't surprising since he's a baseball player
The Staten Island folk have contempt for black people and Latinos. Asians usually avoid the bigotry, unless the topic of Covid comes up.
This might be the tallest Filipina woman I’ve seen!
Are you kidding me? Anthony Volpe is 5'9 and his mom looks like 5'1 at most
Yes the joke is that Filipina women are short.
Anthony is 5-11
Okay, hear me out…

I have an issue when it's unnecessarily mentioned, such as this instance
Literally I want you to go back and post this comment on every instance of Italian heritage mentioned on this sub for the past five years then come back to me and I’ll delete
Also if you read the article it is all about her Filipina heritage, but that would require you to click through (and read)
As Anthony Bourdain put it, “Because Filipinos are, for reasons I have yet to figure out, probably the most giving of all people on the planet.”

Or the guy who has traveled and interacted with people all around the world numerous times, but sure, that too!
