00:12Is it still, we're going to live by the cold, New York or nowhere?

00:16Or are you going to root for your divisional rival who knocked you out of the postseason

00:20so Donnie Baseball can get his first ring?

00:23Let's talk about the man first because I understand the confliction.

00:27We are talking about a 14-year captain for the Yanks who only went to the playoffs once
