entire fan franchise game george huge knows meant obviously owner williams yankee
Obviously George Steinbrenner is a huge fan of Bernie Williams and appreciates everything he's done for this franchise and what we've all done together. Our owner knows that all the way down to a Yankee fan who only attends one game a year. The entire franchise knows what Bernie Williams is and what he's meant to this place.
I think we're a better team. That's the hope, but you have to play it out.

cox gordon hit home john knew lived predicted reports run runs
Our reports from Gordon Blakeley and John Cox were pretty accurate. No one predicted 50 home runs. He lived up to our expectations. We knew we were getting a run producer, someone who would hit 20 home runs and more.
