I've been a Yankees fan for a long time. When I was a kid in the mid-'70s, the Yankees were really great. They had Reggie Jackson in '77. I was 8 years old at the time. He hit three home runs to win the World Series in game six against the Dodgers, and I was just hooked.

I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.

OK, he's a Yankees fan. Now I know why I don't like him.

Growing up in Rhode Island, my friends would have strung me up if I had been a Yankees fan.
