Yankees general partner Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal said Friday that the team wanted to help rebuild the communities in Alabama and all across the South that were devastated by this week's storms. Yankees relief pitcher David Robertson grew up in Tuscaloosa, Ala., one of the hardest-hit areas. He said his family was OK. _________________________________________________ As a proud native of Alabama and die hard Yankee fan, I take pride in saying this is one of the billion reasons why I love the NY Yankees.
