VIDEO: Didi Gregorius Shares Awesome Video Project Ahead of Return to Yankees From IL

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius is returning to the starting lineup tonight after missing several months with Tommy John surgery. His long absence left the beloved infielder with a lot of free time on his hands, time which he used to create an awesome video project in anticipation of his return to the Yankees.

Gregorius claims to have worked 3.5 months on the project, using more than 1,000 digital layers to perfect the masterpiece.

Clearly, while fans are excited to see No. 18 back on the diamond, no one is more amped than Gregorius himself. It's hard to blame him, considering he's been sidelined since October.

Gregorius may not be the best player on the Yankees, but he's pretty darn good and there isn't a player in pinstripes who is more of a fan favorite than this guy. This is another shot in the arm that should only pay dividends for this Yankee team.

Y’all see how excited everyone is just because Didi Gregorius posted a hype video on the day he’s returning from injury? He needs to always be on the #Yankees and in pinstripes. It’s a must.

Thursday was historic D-Day, and Friday for Yankee fans is Didi-Day. Let's hope he can impress his home crowd in his first game of the season.
