Because professional athletes were involved, things got competitive and records became challenged.

This spring, Boyle helped bring the trend to the Yankees’ major league facilities in Tampa.Boyle has his own, and would typically leave it in his locker, where clubhouse attendants would grab it and begin spinning the cube.Non-roster invite D.J. Snelten, a 30-year-old lefty pitcher, had questions about the cube from his locker, which faced Boyle’s.

To turn each side of the cube a single color, there are different algorithms to follow. Maybe some gifted mathematicians can logic out the cube, but Boyle had to take screenshots of the steps online.“Props to anybody that figures it out on their own,” Boyle said recently. “It’s a fun way to pass the time.”

“The best way to understand something is to do it and then to teach it,” said Boyle, who allowed two runs in five Grapefruit League innings before being sent to minor league camp. “I’m not totally convinced I really understand what’s going on there. But then, trying to teach Mitch, it’s like, ‘OK, now I really have to think about what I’m doing.’ It’s not just like regurgitating this stuff that I’ve memorized.

The Yankees owner said it has been “a while” since they updated the club’s clubhouse and training room, and suggested they might try to create more space for the players.

“I think the concern was: We’re kind of falling behind a lot of other teams that have newer facilities,” Steinbrenner said, referencing the Blue Jays’ facilities in Dunedin, Fla., which were renovated in 2020. “I’m not one that ever wants to be second-rate. This organization never strives for that, obviously. So, you know, we’re going to keep up with everybody else.”
