i love you, bernabe williams

a light moment from a jack curry piece on bernie's recent trip to colombia as a cultural ambassador:

The next morning, Williams was as comfortable in the armored vehicle as he would be on his own couch. As Sexton and embassy officials joked about how much someone's boss would pay for ransom if they were kidnapped, Williams predicted what George Steinbrenner, the principal owner of the Yankees and ultimate boss, might do.

"George would say, 'Darn it, we should have signed Beltran.'"
