The New York Yankees\' charter flight to Florida on Thursday had a familiar name in the cockpit: Captain Schmidt, as in Delta pilot Dwight Schmidt, the father of Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt.
\"It was a lot of fun,\" Clarke Schmidt said before Friday night\'s game at the Tampa Bay Rays. \"I mentioned it to a few guys and then we got there, it kind of like spread like wildfire. It was kind of like interactive a little bit. A lot of guys got to see things they never got to see as far as like going up to the cockpit. Guys got to see some cool things.\"
