What happened: As part of the third day of the Yankees' annual HOPE Week, the club recognized First Tee Metropolitan New York. The organization was founded in 2001 at Mosholu Golf Course in The Bronx and works to build character in young people, with a focus on communities that have historically lacked access to the game.

Why it matters: HOPE Week is the Yankees' yearly community-outreach initiative, using the team's platform to elevate local people and organizations doing service work. Highlighting a Bronx-based youth program reinforces the franchise's ties to its home borough beyond what happens on the field.

What to watch: Additional HOPE Week honorees are expected to be recognized on the remaining days of the initiative.
