Harrison Bader was born on the Upper East Side, grew up in Bronxville and played high school baseball at Horace Mann, a private school in The Bronx.
He also spent three seasons playing for the New York Grays, a travel team that often practiced on a field at PS 29 on 157th St. and Melrose Avenue, just a mile from Yankee Stadium.
On Tuesday, he played his first game in a Yankees uniform at the Stadium and had three RBIs. In the bottom of the ninth, he watched Aaron Judge tie Babe Ruth with his 60th home run of the season and Giancarlo Stanton hit a game-winning grand slam.
“It was amazing,’’ Bader said the following day. “Those were amazing feats, but everyone has the bigger picture in mind here: to win the World Series.”
