ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT What was your favorite thing about being on the baseball team at Yorktown?
My favorite part was practicing with the team and just being surrounded by my
Chris Sica friends who I grew up with.

Sica enjoys banner season What was your favorite team activity or pregame or postgame ritual that you
share with your teammates? What about a personal pregame or postgame ritual?
Chris Sica was a senior shortstop for the 2019 Yorktown baseball squad, which nished
13-9 and was the No. 11 seed, and defeated host, No. 6 John Jay-Cross River, 10-4, in My favorite postgame ritual was the bus rides back home from a victory with our

Matt Patrone. He helped me fresh-

his teaching was set in me. I became the
player I am today because of him and other
trainers I’ve had who helped me along the
way.

Tell us one thing about yourself that not a lot of
people know?
One thing people may not know about me is my sel essness,
I’ve been interested in military and law enforcement careers.

Do you plan on continuing playing baseball in college? Tell us
about where you are going to school and why you chose it?
I am interested in playing baseball in college. I will be attending
Monroe College in New Rochelle. It is a (National Junior College Ath-
letic Association, NJCAA) Division 1 school, that went back-to-back years
to the (NJCAA Division 1 Baseball) College World Series. I’m choosing
this school because I feel like I can get academically a good start for my future
and the hard work the school, coaches and players put in is unreal.

Who is your favorite professional athlete and pro or college sports team?
Javier Baez and the Toronto Blue Jays.

What is your favorite music to listen to warming up for a game?
Country music.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
To y, because it would be awesome to be 100 feet in the air and see things from
that perspective.

If you could pick one place to visit on vacation that you’ve never been to, where
would you go and why?

Italy, because of the views, ocean and the food.

What is your favorite food to eat before or after a game?
Beef stew with mashed potatoes.

Best place to eat in Yorktown and why?
Yorktown Pizza and Pasta, because they have the best garlic thin slice pizza.

Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Why?
Instagram because I don’t like Facebook or Twitter.
For a young athlete growing up in the Yorktown district, what would you

tell them about the experience of being part of the baseball team and why
should they go out for the team?
I would tell them to work very hard day in and day out to make the team and
once they are on it work even harder because just being on the team is when you
will make the best memories in high school.
