Yankee fan


Joseph loved baseball. He did not play much, only on the Edgemont Rec teams and in his dreams. From the time he was a young boy he wore his Yankee gear with pride. At Fordham, it was a requirement to be a Yankee fan. When the Yankees won the world series the school gave the boys a day off.

When he went to Amherst he really became involved in the math of baseball. Fantasy baseball and statistics were right up his alley to being a sports fan. He did not watch the game very much but he avidly followed the team, play by play, on the computer. He ran two fantasy baseball teams, and talked incessantly about players and stats with his Ray and Kyle. Baseball and swimming. His two sports.
