    He and wife walked down the aisle to 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' at their wedding.
    Despite spending the majority of the 2009 season with the Yankees, he missed out on being eligible for a World Series ring.

    He was suspended ten games for intentionally beaning two Dodgers, which started a bench clearing brawl (2013).
