I’ve lived in New York for a long time, and I did this movie about the Yankees called ‘*61.’ I found out a lot about the Yankees during that time, so I love the Yankees, I’ve watched the Yankees Picture Quote #1

My favorite is when you go to Afghanistan and you meet the special forces guys, and they look like these heavily armed surfers. These guys are the best. You see guys dressed as full Afghans, but then wearing a Yankees hat Picture Quote #1
