Knock, Knock! New York Yankees' Chris Stewart Locked Out of Bullpen

We've all been there, right?

You're at work and you need to get something out of the supply or storage closet. Or maybe you want to hold a meeting in a particular room.

But the door's locked. You can't get in! But you need to get in; there's stuff to be done. Important stuff. Do you know who I am?

New York Yankees backup catcher Chris Stewart found himself in a similar position Tuesday night during their game against the Baltimore Orioles.

In the fourth inning, Stewart ran out to the Yankees bullpen to help warm up two relievers preparing to take over for the struggling Freddy Garcia. (David Robertson had been catching Clay Rapada for his initial warmup tosses.) 

But when Stewart got to the bullpen door, there was no one to let him in. And the door was locked. That left Stewart standing on the warning track, knocking on the wall, for TV cameras and everyone at Camden Yards to see.

Finally, someone sitting in the Orioles bullpen opened the door for Stewart. But since it was a player from the visiting team waiting to get in, maybe—just maybe—the Orioles bullpen staff made Stewart wait a little longer. 

Stewart is new to the Yankees and back in the American League after two seasons, having been traded from the San Francisco Giants a week ago. So maybe he didn't know the right password to get in the bullpen.
