A Family Fandom: The Pineda start that solidified my love of the Yankees
Briefly

I'm a third-generation Yankees fan.My grandfather Jack, a son of Eastern European immigrants, was my first ancestor to don a Yankees cap.He grew up in Washington Heights, just across the river from the Stadium, but was too poor to attend many games.To achieve financial stability, he studied hard to become a doctor, first at Bronx Science, then at Cornell, and ultimately at Columbia.
