Bio:
[My manager] asked me one Saturday afternoon why I love Jorge Posada so much, why I own pictures and cards of this man, a name jersey I used to wear under my work shirt on game days. [What] makes you love this guy, he wanted to know, built like a tank with his pointy little nose and chin; the man who never wears batting gloves, hits from both sides of the plate, has the lamest cheer in baseball. Why him? Why not Jeter, or Giambi, or even Bernie Williams?

"Look at him, Tom. Just look at him. He has the best average of any Yankee right now and he doesn't fucking care; he's just going to get his ass up there and swing the bat, and if he gets good wood well then, that's fantastic. And if he doesn't, he'll still be behind that plate next inning, calming down yet another Yankee prima donna pitcher, and he'll do that well too. He plays every single game like it's his last, like he has to give everything he has over to baseball. How great is that? He loves his babies and he loves his wife, and he loves Derek Jeter and Mike Mussina and baseball, man, he loves baseball so much. And he's played like that for as long as I've watched him, Tom, he plays like he's the fucking heart of that team. And he is! How could you not love that?"
