There he is, playing baseball with his typically intense body language -- fist-pumping and so on -- and because he's a young guy and not yet considered a True Yankee, he has to hear quasi-hypocritical nonsense from people that haven't played in ages. Case in point: Goose Gossage , who wants Joba to act like a "Yankee." Whatever that means (via BBTF ): "That's just not ... [link]
