Hello All!

[nyyfanfrombirth]

Hello to all. I'm excited about joining. This site actually seems to be populated by adults rather than people who only log on to argue rudely or put people down.

I've been a huge fan of baseball and the Yankees for as long as I can remember. My favorite player all time is Dave Winfield. My current favorite player is Bernie Williams.

Required reading -- Lee's ATM Reports and Will's UTK Reports. Also for Yankee fans, Steven Goldman's Pinstriped Bible. A new one is usually posted by Fridays on Yankees.com, and is a great read.

Welcome aboard.

Just be sure to have your deflector shields on. Some of us NL fans can be a tough crowd!

(Just kidding of course, but next time the Yanks lose a series, can it be to a team besides the Leveraged Buyout Backs?)

Glad you joined the site. There is a huge range of posters here. We have the ultimate statheads to those who still count on their fingers.

I like this site best because all posters are passionate about their team without the need to bash another's team. Respect runs deep on this site. Glad you found a home. Welcome.

Thanks for the warning. I'll try not to be too sensitive. ;)

"Next time the Yanks lose a series..." -- Ha! You are too cute. :)

Bravo! I am with you on that one. Many call him over-rated, but a good player, great guy, and one heck of a guitarist!

Glad to see another Yankee fan. Seems that a lot of Bosox fans have been joining as of late. ;)

Welcome to the fun!! :)

<grumbling> Just what we needed, another NYY fan. If you're also either a lawyer (past, present or future) or physicist (past or present) then I'm going to have to lobby to have you removed.

:D Just kidding. Welcome to the forum.

Glad to meet another Bernie fan. Just because he's quiet, some treat him like he's not a good player. All you have to do is look at his stats and his production can't be denied.

Yanquis fan?! Yanquis fan?! You know what we Red Sox fans do Yanquis fans here?!

We welcome them and remind them to be kind. Good to have you. Now play nice and share the playoff appearances, OK?

We argue rudely and put people down here, too, but we are more erudite about it.:D

Hey, Skip, you're a physicist too! Gonna throw yourself out?

I am an "applied" geek, don't go lumping me in with you "theoretical" geeks. :D :D

Dude, that's what I teach.
