Breakfast with a Champion: Bernie Williams
WFAN's Mike Francesa hosted Breakfast with a Champion: Bernie Williams on April , 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, interesting stories. Take a look. let me know what you think on Facebook.

Bernie Williams at the New Yankee Stadium

Bernie Williams incident
Bernie Williams has been accused of damaging a reporter's camera and hitting her in the face at a bar in Puerto Rico. It sounds like Williams was invited to jam there with another local musician and the reporter began taking pictures until Williams took the camera away from her. Someone at the bar said Williams might have hit her with his elbow at some point. The reporter apparently asked Williams to return her camera and give her $300, which he did, and then she filed the complaint against Williams.

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. Source
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!
Why Celebrate Bernie Williams?
This 2007 season marks the first to start without Bernie Williams in a New York Yankees Uniform after 16 seasons.
During his spectacular career, Bernie Williams won our love and respect on and off the ball field and now it's time to honor him. I propose an annual Bernie Williams Day on or about every September 13th (his birthday) so we can take a moment to thank our hero for his service and the wonderful memories he's given us over the years. I also propose the retirement of the number 51 from the New York Yankees. Please post a memory to Bernie Williams Memories with your name and talk about why you support Bernie Williams Day or a special Bernie Williams memory. These postings will be compiled into a document which will be presented to the New York Yankees Front Office in the form of a petition every September 13th until the first annual Bernie Williams Day is officially declared by the aforementioned office.
A Bernie Williams' Memory:
You'll often hear Yankees fans say that Jason Giambi officially became a Yankee on May 17, 2002, when he hit a game winning grand slam in the rain during the 14th inning. I was at that game and its the best game I've ever been to (poor pitching aside). The reason Jason Giambi had that opportunity was Bernie Williams game tying 9th inning solo home run. Bernie Williams homered twice that game, one from each side of the plate (the left handed one went into the upper deck).
Bernie Williams' Status:
Bernie Williams is currently playing for the Puerto Rico World Baseball Classic team and is interested in playing on an MLB team during the 2009 season. [2009]
As reported by the Associated Press, Bernie Williams is not officially retired and will only consider playing for the New York Yankees at the Major League Level. [2007]
The fabled Bleacher Creatures of right field at Yankee Stadium sing of their desire for a Bernie Williams return.
