Comment on New York Yankees Retire Bernie Williams’ Number

New York Yankees Retire Bernie Williams’ Number

The New York Yankees paid the ultimate respect to five-time all-star Bernie Williams on Sunday night by retiring his no. 51 jersey and placing a plaque dedicated to him in Monument Park alongside those of the team’s myriad other legends. “This is unbelievable,” said Williams. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that a skinny little 17-year-old kid from Puerto Rico could be here this day in this celebration.” Although the center fielder last played with the Yankees in 2006, he didn’t officially retire until last month. Williams by all indication has been rocking out hard since leaving the organization almost a decade ago.
