Twenty Years

Oh captain,our captain,
How much us Yankees will miss you so.
20 years You gave us,
Without any complaints to a friend or foe.
You gained our love and trust,
Your surely and forever have our respect,
That no other player will every deflect.
A true Yankee through and through....
We couldnt be prouder,
You was always our fighter.
So calm and relaxed was you,with every
Game you showed how much you did care,
Even if you have left the plate your presence
Will always be felt there.
What more is there to say,
We know you went out your way.

Nice tribute to a fine ballplayer. I am a Mets fan although I have been to Yankee Stadium. I saw the Brooklyn Cyclones play this year - they are a Mets farm team. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
