I found this article interesting, hope you do as well. None of it surprising though, things like this have been going on for years.

I love the Yankees, but.....

As a Yankee fan, you inherit your hero's early on. For me The Holy Trinity of Yankee favorites are Donnie Baseball, Willie Randolph, and Bernie Williams. Theses choices were made and in a sense I had no say in it. Growing up being a fan, your just attracted to certain players. Whether it be their style of play, batting stance, or just overall attitude toward baseball. I don't remember how, when, or why I fell in love with Donnie baseball, he is just there in my memory. The same goes for Willie Randolph. But Bernie Williams is another story. I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I was twelve years old going through a freshly unsealed pack of baseball cards. Scuffling through the pack of '90-'91 Topps cards I came across Bernie Williams. At this point in time, I have never heard of him. But instantly somehow I know something was special. I flipped the card over and saw that he was from Puerto Rico, and that was it. I said to myself "This is my new favorite player." I don't know if I was looking for a Hispanic role-model or something, but it happened that quick. Thinking back to that time in my life brings back feeling that I don't think can ever be reproduced by something else. I'm not exactly sure the cause for my resent sentimentality. Maybe the anniversary of 9/11 has something to do with it. Maybe the uncertainty of my future. Maybe my man-period is approaching, I just don't know. But I do know one thing. For all my sentimentality nothing will ever make me want to buy this memorabilia from Bernie Williams.

Hurricane Don't Hurt Me

I've had my last supper, and I'm ready to die now. Ah Peace. I leave all my belongings to anyone in the street that finds them after the storm. Best wishes to all, and burn a candle for my family.
