  • -No. -...and by me.

  • it was rejected by Don Fehr and the union.

  • So -- but I still have it at home in my safe

  • as a collector's item. -Yeah.

  • Wow! This is Rangers, then --

  • It was gonna be -- -I was gonna go from the Rangers

  • I love New York City, number one.

  • A lot of people don't know this...

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • ...but growing up, I was a big Mets fan.

  • And with the exception of my daughters' birth, both of them,

  • the best years of my life were 1986 and 2009 when we won.
