Being a Yankee fan is a family tradition. My grandfather never had a son so he never had someone to pass on his Yankee fan-dom on to, until I was born. Now it's my duty to pass on the stories.
Just as my grandfather told me about Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio, I'll be able to tell my kids (when I have some) about Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Its special.
