Incredible.

Incredible is certainly the only word that describes it. I don't think that a good amount of yankee fans realize what we are getting to see play every day. This guy...those numbers...simply incredible.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm still kind of disbelieving that we got A-Rod. :-D

Yeah, that is pretty incredible. He will probably have a hard time breaking some of those records such as Pete Rose's hit record, but I can see him taking some of those other records.
