Major League outfielder Chris Dickerson dropped by the ESPN America TV studio in London during a recent trip to London as part of the European Big League Tour. We managed to get a few words from Chris on life as a New York Yankee and what is was like to be drafted & traded.
And just to show how transitory life as an MLB player can be … Chris changed teams again – as he signed for the Orioles in January. Watch the videos below with Chris wearing his Yankees uniform …
