The guys around Juan Carlos’s coffee cart were talking politics.
Jon from Highbridge started the conversation.
“I always think of Billy Martin when the presidential race heats up,” he said. “Billy once said: ‘Being a Yankee is the greatest thing in the world. I’d rather be a Yankee than be the President of the United States.’”
The rest of the guys shrugged.
“Who wouldn’t?”

Who wouldn't... Indeed.
Being a Yankee is the greatest job in the world. Take that from someone who doesn't have the greatest job in the world. Sorry boss...
Yeah, I would take being a Yankee over anything too, joeyboy.
