Anyone else catch the news of Bernie throwing back on the old pinstripes?
TAMPA, Fla.: A pair of familiar faces have appeared at the New York Yankees' spring training camp for the first time this year: owner George Steinbrenner and outfielder Bernie Williams.
Steinbrenner arrived at about 10 a.m., was brought from the parking lot to Steinbrenner Field in a golf cart, then was transferred to a wheel chair near a bank of elevators before going up to his office. The 78-year-old has been increasingly frail in recent years.
Williams, who has not played since 2006, changed into uniform in the Yankees clubhouse and prepared to work out with the team. The 40-year-old, a five-time All-Star during 16 seasons with the Yankees, is getting ready to play for Puerto Rico in next month's World Baseball Classic.
What do you think guys, should this guy just stay retired, or be let back on the fields?
