Everyone knows about all the world series titles won by the New York Yankees.

It makes them the most hated and/or loved team in perhaps all of sports.

You HAVE to respect several of the team’s players for their class and professionalism, though, including Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter.

Off the radar a bit, though he shouldn’t be, is set-up man Dave Robertson who has struck out over a batter per inning in a terrific season.

Erin-Dave Robertson

Robertson is also getting the job done off the field with his wife, Erin, as the pair have a website to help tornado ravaged Alabama.

Their website, www.highsocksforhope.com, offers the opportunity to help his home area of Tuscaloosa as she spoke about in an appearance on FOX Saturday Baseball.

The Robertsons have been touched by the devastation there and are to be commended for their actions.
