Harris's Bio

My name is Harris Decker and I am from the suburbs of New York, Westchester County. I was a Yankees fan (not a die hard one) for the first 12 years of my life. My already limited passion for the Yankees ended after the 2000 season, the beginning of the real money era in Yankees baseball. After this I made the obvious choice, and the one that my family had been wanting, and turned to the Mets. Since that day I have been a committed, passionate Mets fan. I am a Mets season ticket holder and have been to some amazing games at Shea. I now follow both teams in my effort to become more and more familiar with my hobby, baseball cards and memorabilia.

Harris,

I've given my thoughts on the Jackie Robinson rotunda and Citi Field in general. I'd like to hear your opinion on what I mention in the article and see if you agree or disagree.

The A-Rod injury could force the Yankees to trade for depth. Here's some possible trade candidates ranging from Miguel Tejada to Max Ramirez. Check it out and tell me what you think.
