Coach's Corner
Not only does Russell wear Yankee shirts, underwear, and tattoos, but he also had to choose a Yankee affiliate to be his MLP teamname. Before being swept off his feet by fellow MLP member Cheryl, Russell spent his free time playing catcher for the local nine and mimicing George Steinbrenner's every move. Since marriage, he had to settle down. However, Russell continues his Yankee fascination by hoarding their yearly gold card collections. I think he is closet Red Sox lover myself.
