NEW YORK — Jazz Chisholm has no problem briefly stepping away from a conversation to play a hip-hop song in the Yankees clubhouse. Four times while being interviewed at Yankee Stadium on Sunday morning, Chisholm’s voice trailed off as one song finished, after which he stopped talking, looked at his phone, and jogged across the clubhouse to manage the sound system.
”Damn, I forgot how quick that song is,” Chisholm muttered while his thumb scrolled through the tracks on his phone. “Sorry, one more.”
Some baseball players take the responsibility of clubhouse DJ seriously, but this was a level of dedication I hadn’t seen before. So, after the third time that Chisholm apologized for stepping away from our conversation to play another song, it piqued my interest. What’s the deal?
“These are songs I like,” Chisholm said. “This is me.”
