When Meg and I were married . . . all she knew about the Yankees was that they were in New York. As the season progressed, she slowly learned the names of the players. Then, she started to learn their nicknames, and some interesting things that each of them can do. Now, her conversion is complete. She watched each post season game with me and shouted at the TV to urge on "Melky," "Tex," "The Captain," and every other member of the team. She loves saying "Hip Hip Jorge!" when Jorge Posada gets a hit. She gets excited and jumps around when they have a walk off hit because she knows that Burnett will be sneaking out of the dugout to hit someone with a pie in the face. She loves Joe Girardi and thinks that he should run for mayor of New York because he's clean cut and a great leader. She's even considering letting me use the name Jeter for the middle name of one of our children. I love my wife very much, and the fact that she is now a full fledged Yankee fan makes me love her even more.
