BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Sh*t look at Bernie Williams and Roberto Kelly. How close were the Yanks in trading either one of them?

We scratched the surface on how good this kid is going to be ... He goes up there and he's got I've said it all year long: He reminds me a lot of Bernie Williams just for his personality and sometimes he makes you scratch your head and other times you want to hug him. And again, he kept us calm through this series and certainly we were the beneficiaries for it. He's a special player.

I think the Yankees did a wonderful job ... There were some really neat things that took place that evening -- watching Bernie [Williams] come back, watching Don Larsen grab dirt from the pitchers mound -- it shows you how important that place really is.

I had a moment there before the game started ... I was in the clubhouse and it was just me and Andy, and another moment it was just me and Bernie [Williams]. We were talking about how weird it is that this is the last time -- regular season, at least -- that we're going to be getting ready to play a game here at Yankee Stadium. I think that's really when it hit me.

said Bernie Williams
I’m looking to keeping my options open, keep working out ... It’s been a great two years. I’ve had the opportunity to do things that I never really had the opportunity to do when I was playing. I had the chance to travel. Take my kids to school, watch my kid graduate from high school, a lot of things that I never would have never had the opportunity to do if I had been playing the game.
