It was a wonderful experience. I was around 7 years old. They took me around the club house and I got to sit in the dugout before the game. I met all of the prominent Yankees during the year. Funny story, the only person to decline me an autograph was CHUCK KNOBLAUCH. He simply walked away from me. I have framed a Derek Jeter signed jersey, and a picture of him signing it while the jersey was on my back. I wore his jersey, and he initiated the signing. Everyone was very friendly. The jersey is the most cherished part of my sports collection. It just means a lot because my dad worked so hard getting me the opportunity. I will definitely try to do the same for my son!
