Absolutely. Both sides of my family are deeply rooted in the Bronx and the Yankees have always represented where we come from. My mother grew up a few blocks from the stadium and attended games with my grandfather who was a season ticket holder. Now I’m carrying on the tradition as the season ticket holder and to games with my parents when possible. It’s hard for me to think about this team without thinking about my family.

Ive even seen Yankees caskets.

An odd and morbid question but, for me, yes. It’s a part of who I am. I think about baseball several times a day so it would seem appropriate for those who didn’t know me to get a sense of some of the things I was interested in.
