As a longtime New York Yankees fan, stemming from my father’s link to the game as a left-handed pitcher and my upbringing in Connecticut — watching the likes of Munson, Nettles, Dent, Guidry (Louisiana Lightning!), Randolph, Bonilla, Griffey, Jeter, Rivera (the Sandman!), Posada, Pettitte, and so many other baseball greats on TV and at the old Yankee Stadium — I am most excited for this summer in the Bronx.
