Bernie talks about Cheshire

I don't know if you've seen Bernie Williams with Michael Kay on YES' Centerstage or not, but he gives a shout out to Cheshire.

The Yankees hid Williams out at Cheshire Academy when he was 16. He also spent some of that summer playing for Meriden's Katz Sports Shop the Greater Hartford Twilight League. He joked about the fact that the Katz managers never played him.

Pretty cool. Dave Katz reports that he watched the Centerstage show and that many people have commented about Bernie mentioning playing with the team.

Here's a link to a New York Times story that has some info on Bernie at Cheshire.
