“I already babysit in this locker room” - Paul Goldschmidt 😂 #QuestionOfTheDay | #FathersDay https://t.co/kXxPm95V2K

What happened: Asked a Father's Day question of the day, Paul Goldschmidt quipped that he already babysits inside the Yankees clubhouse. The veteran first baseman's deadpan answer played off his role as one of the elder statesmen in a New York locker room.

Why it matters: The light moment underscores Goldschmidt's standing as a steadying veteran presence for the Yankees, a role that has carried over into his strong production at the plate. As the same Goldschmidt drawing notice for his age-38 form, his clubhouse leadership has been a throughline of New York's season.

What to watch: Watch whether the Yankees keep leaning on Goldschmidt's veteran presence as the regular season rolls on.
