ABOUT ME

I have been a Bernie Williams fan since he was in AA Albany back in 1989.  The Yankees were not a very good team back then, but Bernie was one of the few reasons to hold out hope for the future.  The Yankees traditionally traded their prospects for veteran talent, but when George Steinbrenner faced a suspension from Major Leaugue Baseball, those fears were erased.  Bernie earned the everyday center-field job in 1993 and has since played on four Wold Series winners, won a batting title, won an ALCS MVP Award, earned four Gold Glove Awards, and made five All-Star Game appearnces.  He is currently fifth an the all-time Yankees hit list behind four guys named Gehrig, Ruth, Mantle and Jeter.  He also has 22 post-season home runs, which was the most in baseball history (currently second all-time) until 2007.  I am most proud of the fact that Bernie has played his entire career as a Yankee, and has done so in a very humble and professional manner.  One day, his number 51 will shine forever on the Yankee Stadium left field wall.

People usually ask me how I became such a big Bernie Williams fan.  I would say his personality is the main reason.  My personality is very similar to Bernie's because I do not like to draw attention to myself.  Like Bernie, I also play the guitar, so that was a factor as well.

I had always wanted to start a fan tribute site and possibly write a book on Bernie's life.  I hope that this site can serve as both a source of education and enjoyment to other Bernie Williams fans. 

Thank you,

Paul
