"But we’re out there, all of us, hoping every day that he comes back. I think he knows we need him. I think he knows how much we respect him and what a great leader he is."

This is the Yankees, they’re supposed to crush free agent’s souls with overwhelming sums of cash—instead, they’re left begging a 39 year old to come back and play one more season like they are poor Metropolisians hoping Superman will return to save them from an outer space threat.
