As many of you already know (and for those who don't know), I work as a security officer at Yankee Stadium. I've been there since 2008 -- my reflection on working the last season at the old Stadium was featured on The LoHud Yankees Blog -- and this coming season will be my third with Securitas, the company that was enlisted by the Yankees. From being able to watch every game to interacting with very passionate and knowledgeable fans, I can say that I am truly blessed to be employed at baseball's cathedral.

This job has also helped me reach 200+ followers on Twitter (look to the right), some of the most intelligent and fun-loving Yankees fans I've talked baseball with. Now while I love them to death, only a few of them have visited me at work. So I'm writing this post tonight to let everyone know the deal for 2010:

• I work at section 120a-120b on the field level, directly adjacent from Gate 4. You'll immediately recognize it by noticing the giant black drape, dubbed "Shaq's Shower Curtain".
• All fans who plan to attend a game must stop by the aforementioned section and say "hi" to me. Staying at 120a-120b for the whole game is not mandatory, but I will try my hardest to seat you in the immediate area.

If you forget the first bulletpoint and/or fail to carry out the second bulletpoint, I'm coming for you -- one way or another. There are absolutely NO EXCUSES for not stopping by my section from this season on.

Enjoy the Spring Training games, and I hope to see you guys at the Stadium this season!
