New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole is a a huge Harry Styles fan and MLB fans are in splits. The Yankees have a post game playlist to play and some legend allegedly played LMFAO's "Shots," after a recent victory.
Cole, though, wasn't having it and shifted to Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar." He then praised himself for the choice and referred to Styles as the "f***ing GOAT."

Yankees star Gerrit Cole hit a milestone
Recently Cole achieved a significant milestone by becoming the third-fastest pitcher in history to reach 2,000 strikeouts. Jorge Mateo of the Baltimore Orioles was fooled by him as he recorded his final strikeout of the evening.
Cole is also the third-fastest pitcher in terms of innings pitched to strike out 2,000 hitters. In 1,714 2/3 innings, Cole struck out 1,000 times.
MLB pitcher Cole had previously played for the Houston Astros and the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the first round of the 2008 MLB Draft, the Yankees picked Cole. Instead of signing, Cole chose to enrol at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he played baseball for the UCLA Bruins in college.
In September 2013, Cole was awarded the National League (NL) Rookie of the Month after making his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut. He was selected as an MLB All-Star in 2015 and the National League Pitcher of the Month for April.
