 Lucas, dude, you sneakily have one of the best Instagram pages on this Yankees team right now And we're here to take a look at some of the top form posts. Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's do it First one you got a personal barber at home man to keep you looking fresh Yeah, that was the moment in time where it was time to go bald So I knew my daughter couldn't mess it up. So I said go for it. Just have fun You know, it was the one time I wouldn't worry about my haircut. Yeah, well it looks good now and does she still do it? No, now we go a clean razor. So I'm not letting that happen. Oh, yeah, but how about the mustache? So the mustache is a good look. Do you let her touch that at all? Same thing off limits This is the only facial hair I can have so it's my precious right now You also have other kids and right here your youngest one, man This was such a special video. You're washing your dork spring training. Yeah When my wife said that to me I kind of got a little emotional because like that's kind of what it's all about for me Everybody's kind of asked me why have I kept playing and it's really been for my kids Especially my boys to watch me on TV and actually know like hey, that's dad. That's what he's doing. So that one's my favorite video just because You know, it's just the raw emotion of him thinking I can hear him thinking he can like talk to me I love how much of a family man that you are I'm sure that they're pumped at home watching this and also too. We're gonna see your other sons swing right here So everybody in the in the Lucas Licky family's getting some love right now. Yeah, and that's another great thing You know, I got to go home and coach him and this first kind of little league action. So same thing. That's just what I enjoy I enjoy Doing the little league stuff doing the coach in the basketball To bring joy the game source not so serious so much right now, especially with baseball younger kids is like They think they're going to college at the age of seven So I try to bring the fun back into and like hey, it's not that serious just have fun Let them play in the dirt Let them do whatever they want and that was a special kind of thing that you also got to do too while you're recovering from injury So you got a chance to be at home and have those special moments with all of them Which is awesome to see you coaching out there. Yeah, it's one of those like I said when I was hurt with TJ It was unfortunate But I got to do the whole dad thing year-round which my wife appreciated my kids appreciated And I appreciate it. So Like I said, it was there's pros and cons to everything that was the biggest problem being hurt is getting to do the normal dad stuff Yeah, and you've been doing this for a long time So having more innings is that arm have left me because who knows maybe one day you'll be throwing a BP or Never know on the same team you could some of these guys go pretty deep into their into their I don't think I'll ever play on the same team as my kids. I Mean if I do congratulations to myself I Got I'm gonna play as long as they let me Yeah, you know at some point I will call it quits just to go home and be with the kids because I don't want to miss out on their life at the end of day, this is a job, but Family is more important to me. So at some point I'll have the decision. But right now we're good All right, like you said family man. Here you are Disney. Nice family picture. You got the Mickey Mouse get up on Yeah, we did that this offseason It was an experience That was my first Disney experience So me and my kids got to do it together. We were exhausted. I don't know when the next time we're going back But it'll be a few years from now. I say that we win the world series You know like everybody else we go in a Disneyland. Yeah. Hey, well, I know you love to dress up And I was kind of hoping that you're gonna be in some sort of Buzz Lightyear or what are you after right here? But this is another great picture that you got Toy Storyland. I wore that shirt today too somehow shockingly That's amazing. No, man. That place is a blast I understand why it costs so much because they go to every little detail for every ride everything around the park so and The good thing about this like the toy stories I watched as his kids. Yes, somehow. They're still relevant So I get the enjoyment and nostalgia while my kids get to enjoy it as well The amazing amazing and here you go. So we see a lot of smiles This one picture everybody's birthday party you got the mean mug go are you just trying to match your daughter right there? Or what? Yeah, she wasn't too thrilled about being part of that So we're just trying to make her get through it, you know Sometimes with kids you got to force them to do stuff and that was one of those times Did you guys save the caricature? It's somewhere at our house Dude, you are a great husband also the office theme party for your wife's birthday After she ran a half marathon. What a what a guy. I know So the office is kind of I feel like every couple has a nighttime like go-to-bed show And the office has been our go-to-bed show for years and years We kind of live our life through it. Sometimes we'll just catch ourselves talking in quotes I want to throw a big party shit in one one. So I thought that'd be the best Birthday party she can get it's office theme out of all the characters in that show. Who's your favorite? I mean obviously Michael Scott when he left it kind of Went a different direction besides that Kevin. Okay, okay, just a dry Sensitive humor plain Jane, but hilarious. It's like I said your wife ran a half marathon that day and then also team guys Did the color run so who's the big runner in the family? Is it her? We both kind of have that tick of like wanting to accomplish something that we know is hard So her her is the half marathon. I couldn't do that one because it wouldn't be good for me for baseball And I just don't want to mm-hmm, but it's like the color runs are a simple like 5k It makes our kids, you know get active with us and it's fun Like, you know, they throw color over you the kids love it Yeah, we try to do our best to get outside and stay off the TV as much as possible. Well definitely shows and How did this come about all along? This is pretty cool And when your son looks back on this picture, he's gonna realize how cool it was to I'm sure my gym I work out back at home host an annual ping-pong tournament and This was the same year the astros won the world series And so we had some at Astros players like Breg McRae worked out there and That year Paul wall made him a song for when the world series so it all just kind of came together at the same place We were doing the ping-pong tournament. They knew him and we're like, hey Will you come perform? You know at the ping-pong event and he did I saw my opportunity and I went for it I'm a big Paul wall fan. So yeah, yeah adds some street credit and also to would you ever rock a chain like he does I'm not so much the chain. I want the grill. Dude. Yes, you know my bachelor party I wanted to start off at Dave and Buster's and so we won't enough tokens to where I got me a grill So I had me a grill for my wedding day But the full-out diamond grill has always been my goal. Oh, that's amazing I don't know how we didn't see her how you didn't post any of the grill photos from the wedding day, man That have been fun to show off. There's there's one somewhere out there I just don't know one photo that's great And one of your buddies who's actually in your wedding and this means headlines everywhere when you first came to the Yankees But your buddy Emmanuel Sanders a NFL wide receiver the dudes of stud That's so cool that you guys are literally doing the highest level of what each of you do in your given profession Man, it's talk about surrounding yourself with successful people. It's kind of weird and we talk about it all the time How amazing it is, you know, we're both from the same hometown You know, 3,000 people we came up together playing Little League basketball everything on the same team our whole lives You know graduated together And I don't think either one of us if you talk to us in high school or even college or like, yeah I'm gonna make it to the next level. We were just kind of living our life and doing our thing and then Slowly but surely it just started happening. And then once we kind of got up there we Were feeding off each other like the year I was hurt. He was recovering from Achilles So we got together once a week did recovery together, you know talked about it Like he taught me a lot about the mental part of the game, which I'd never dealt with So man, we're both so proud of each other and you know Kind of where we are and like last year was awesome both being in New York You know, he got to come to some games here and we end up we even met at a Brooklyn Nets game for the playoffs last year So nice. It was just a cool experience from two kind of small-town kids to be in New York City together You know for different professions, but at the highest level when it comes to football season offensive football Are you trying to get them on to your team? Is it is it one of those types of things and you mess around with them after games like hey Thanks for the seven points. We we try but my league. I'm in is my hometown league Okay, so it's all guys who grew up with them. So he's pretty hot commodity usually this might be one of the hardest pictures You've ever posted on your Instagram page See if you zoom in you got the chain It says L train on it As the train is going by right now It might be a sign that you have to bring it back and bring it to the Bronx man Just whip it out there, you know, that's what I my goals in life were to play basketball I wanted to play at UNC and unfortunately, I just stopped growing. I couldn't shoot well enough I couldn't jump high enough so I realized where I was better, but my whole life growing up I was out in the driveway playing basketball imagining Playing for UNC and also teeth you're pulling both these basketballs. You got this. Yeah, the right hand's a little tougher Good for you, man. I could handle my own. All right. All right. I was honorable mention guys a stud So this is pretty wild soon. We talked a lot about your family and we talked about Just loving baseball and basketball and football, but this is kind of crazy. This mug right here that was kind of me my now wife went on a date in college and She wanted to go to a pottery decorating place And I was like sure so you get there you pick out whatever you want to color So I picked a mug and you have to create an idea to put on there So I thought why don't I put all my favorite teams in my current team? Stuff with my high school logo junior college cowboys Yankees And it's just kind of every team that I was either part of our follow-up and I've kept that mug I still have it and All of a sudden, you know, we get to talking, you know last year all season And my agents like hey the Yankees called, you know, it progresses and I sign with them. I'm like, you know And there's kind of clicks in my head. I was like, I got a mug with the Yankees on it You know, I got to find this thing and sure enough it was still there and I was like I spoke into existence man Dude, it's so wild and that's when you and your now wife are just dating. Yeah, like this is like this is completely coming full circle Which is wild. Yeah. No, I mean there was No rhyme or reason to it. Otherwise, I was just putting my favorite teams and the teams have been a part on it And like I said here I am now. Yeah. Alright, so did you drink out of this cup this morning? You still haven't? No, it's not here in New York. No, I didn't try I was the first few months because my family wasn't here. I was in a hotel. So I don't try with any, okay dishes We see all these Instagram posts like I said before huge family man huge sports guy What would you say is your favorite part about social media? To me, it's kind of like my newspaper So, you know when I'm drinking my coffee anymore, and I'm going through Twitter because I follow things I'm interested in that's mostly Twitter the Instagram and Facebook is how I keep up with my friends and family back home Now's the time for the plug So why should all the Yankees fans and baseball fans just sports fans generally anybody out there watching this? Why should they follow you and what do you have to offer? I mean, I try to give a good insight of what We do especially in the off-season I'll post a lot of like bullpen videos because I've had friends who tell me they don't get to see that view And whether it's straight behind the pitch or from the catchers aspect so I kind of bring you know what we go through on a daily basis and Kind of what it inside of like what a pitch movement looks like You know my phone has hundreds of videos of myself so I film almost every bullpen I throw it's something I think it's cool. So that's why I post a lot of it. Awesome. Where does it handle so everybody can follow along? I know they've been on the screen the entire time. It's very simple out for the plug at Lucas linky. There you go on everything And Lucas, thank you so much for your time, brother. I appreciate you having me
