(From MLB.com)

Despite his success as an accomplished recording musician, former Yankees star Bernie Williams would love to give baseball another try.

Williams, who spent 16 seasons with the Yankees from 1991-2006, told reporters prior to a Friday taping of the show "CenterStage" on the YES Network that his participation in the World Baseball Classic with Puerto Rico renewed his interest in returning to the big leagues.

"I felt really good about playing," Williams said. "I am my worst critic and I didn't feel very bad about it. It took me a while to get acclimated. But after a while, I felt very encouraged.

"I can still play," added Williams, who was 0-for-5 with two walks in four games with Puerto Rico.

Williams, 40, has not asked his agent to contact any Major League teams. He would not reveal if he'd be willing to play with any club other than the Yankees.

YES! I don't care how old or how bad Bernie is, I'm a Bernie Williams fan and all I want to see is him step into the batters box just one time at the New Yankee Stadium.

hey B-Boy whats up?
Yeah, Bernie needs to come back and step in the box at the NYS, even if its a Billy Crystal type deal- 1 day. lol

Hey guys I'm back earlier than expected. Thanks for posting those lineups.

Looks like Tomko is going to get the long reliever job. Good for him. Who really thought he had a chance when he was signed? I know I didn't.

Greg Cohen said...

I didn't think he had a chance either. Hopefully he can help the team.

JoeNYy said...

Yeah I think Tomko will be good out of the pen, and no problem for the lineups.
