I was lucky enough to attend Bernie Williams’ performance and interview at William Paterson University in November of 2010. You can check out my recollection of the concert and stories here.

Breakfast with a Champion: Bernie Williams
WFAN’s Mike Francesa hosted Breakfast with a Champion: Bernie Williams on April 20, 2010. Pictures can be found here. You think they have enough WFAN banners and advertisements in the room? Sheesh! People paid money for those tickets – I don’t think they should have been inundated with advertisements. Still, it sounds like it was a pretty cool event and included interesting stories.

Bernie Williams at the New Yankee Stadium
On April 16, 2009, Bernie Williams took part in the pregame ceremonies at the new Yankee Stadium when he played, “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.” I really like his jazzy rendition on the classic tune – it’s jazzy and full of surprises – love those minor chords! Very cool arrangement!
Bernie Williams Day idea beginning to take shape at Yankees offices?
This was posted on March 3rd, 2008 to Yankees.com:
Honoring Bernie: There is no official plan yet, but Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press that the Yankees will find a way to honor the career of former center fielder Bernie Williams.
A lifetime .297 hitter, Williams played 16 seasons with the Yankees, but separated from the organization awkwardly, declining a non-roster invitation to Spring Training last year. Williams is believed to be retired from baseball, though he has not officially done so.
So maybe the wheels are finally rolling! But we’re not there yet – lets get that jersey retired and get an annual day set up!
