Former New York Yankee Bernie Williams became “former New York Yankee Bernie Williams” two years ago.  Coming off of a season in which he played more than expected, the contract offer he expected never came.  Instead of a 1-year deal, he was offered an invitation to spring training with no guarantee of a job.  After 16 [...]
