Yankees Legend Bernie Williams on the Dynasty, Rookie Hazing and the "Nice Guy" Knock
Bernie Williams was an indispensable member of the Yankees dynasty of the '90s and 00's. He grew up in the farm system and eventually formed a bond with Derek Jeter, Andy Petitte, Jorde Posada, and Mariano Rivera which is one of the most special in New York sports lore. He went from being the focus of trade rumors from the desk of Steinbrenner to having his number retired in Monument Park. Williams was a man of many interests, and this was sometimes mistaken for a lack of intensity on the field. But he explains how that even keel approach helped him navigate the craziness of those seasons. Bernie discusses the difference between Buck Showalter and Joe Torre, plus the rookie hazing of Mel Hall. And now he's pivoted to an accomplished career in music and garnering attention for lung disease, the affliction which took his dad's life.
