Born in Columbus, Ohio and raised in Manahawkin, New Jersey, Nick has been a Yankees fan for as long as he can remember. Nick’s father has been a lifelong Yankees fan, and raised him as such with tales of running on the field after a World Series victory and watching Yankee greats play in person. Nick’s personal favorite Yankees moment happens to be one he was in the bleachers for at Yankee Stadium: Alex Rodriguez’s 3000th hit. Arod stepped to the plate in the bottom of the first inning on a warm June day and hit a home run about 100 feet from where Nick was sitting to become the 29th member of the 3000 hit club, and created a moment Nick will never forget watching.
