A chat with Bernie Williams

by Ed Valentine on Oct 6, 2010 1:27 PM EDT in Miscellaneous

I was invited to to a blogger roundtable with former Yankee star Bernie Williams recently. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend. I sent the event organizers some questions, though, and they very graciously put together a little video for me.

I hope you enjoy it, and I know there's a marketing pitch at the end. Listen to that part or don't. Up to you.

You haven't seen they guy who shows up at random times and just posts a picture of Bernie?

If somebody is doing that

just flag it and let one the writers know. That has not been brought to my attention.

Its just random

I think it is funny.

In an Ideal world, I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.

I’ve seen him a few times. It’s nothing inapproriate and it’s just a picture- I checked it for spam links and it was clean.

I actually met Bernie once in my home town

I saw him in concert and happened to be walking by when he was leaving to get to his car. I shook his hand and had him sign my ticket for me… I felt like a 10 year old again haha

Seems like a great guy

Since I wasn’t there he had to go out of his way to do this, and the fact that he did shows how nice of a guy he is.

Exactly

That’s really special of him to do. It was only 4 minutes of interview but it means the world to everyone here.

Always loved Bernie

I was at a dinner in Chicago which he attended and he signed and personalized a baseball for me. One of the better guys to ever don the Pinstripes.

I think it would be hard to find someone who don’t like Bernie.

The Bernie troll with love this

BERN BABY BERN!!!

I loved this guy. One of the most heartbreaking times for me as a Yankees fan was Brian Cashman’s decision not to bring him back and instead go with Doug M. and Josh Phelps (great choice Cash, great choice).

It sucks that you were unable to attend, Ed. You could have met Bernie Williams! I’ve met a few big Yankees in my life. I got to meet Don Mattingly and Derek Jeter and even have a bit of an extended conversation (if you call 6 min. and 42 seconds extended, yes I timed it) with Alex Rodriguez. I never got a chance to meet Bernie though or get his autograph or anything. I love Bernie (though not to the extent of the Bernie Troll).

I hate all Boston sports teams
