I used to interview Roy White when I worked for the Woodstock Townsman or as my press pass said Ulster County Times. Roy was my favorite Yankee. Talking with him was very special to me. A very tough competitor. He told me while a Yankee coach in 1983 that he thought he could still play for the current team. He wasn't complaining , he was explaining. I wonder if Bret Gardner feels the same. These two are great people. Keep up the good work Paul.
