Yankees Old-Timers' Day featured a ranting David Wells and a current Brewers player meeting his hero

The New York Yankees held their annual Old-Timers Day on Saturday, welcoming back several members of the 1998 World Series team that won 114 regular season games. 

And it turned out to be quite the eventful day, as one former player — David Wells — ranted against everything involving Major League Baseball today, while another — Derek Jeter — was introduced to a Brewers player who grew up idolizing him. 

Let's start with Wells, who went on an absolute rampage against "woke culture" in Major League Baseball, criticizing everything from Nike to the pitch clock to how the players of today are too soft and are not as willing to get in each other's faces. 

According to The Athletic's Brendan Kuty, Wells gave his interview while wearing a piece of medical tape over the Nike logo on his jersey and said that if he played today he would rip a hole in his uniform and take the mound like that, instead of sporting the Nike swoosh. He went on to say that he "hates" Nike because they are "woke."

He did not stop there.

He then turned his attention to today's players and relayed a story about how catcher Jorge Posada once shoved him into a pillar in the locker room after a start.

From The Athletic:

“He slammed me against the pillar and got in my face but I respected it,” Wells said. “He was like, ‘You gave up.’ And that pissed me off because I never gave up, you just get your ass kicked once in a while. But to me, that’s what you don’t see anymore. You don’t see the guys getting in each other’s face. And it’s not a personal thing. You’re here to win, and that’s what they try to do, and I think from seeing my perspective, looking in, they don’t have that kind of camaraderie anymore.”

Older generations thinking the new generation of players are soft is a tale as old as time and you can be sure that when Wells was pitching, players from the '60s, '70s and '80s probably shared similar sentiments about his generation. 

The older generations today just have a much louder megaphone to scream from. 

Meanwhile, on a more positive angle from Old-Timers Day, Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had an opportunity to meet Jeter, his childhood hero, for the very first time and the reaction is absolutely perfect.
