Paul Simon ceremonial first pitch at The Boss

• Singer Paul Simon with Jorge Posada at The Boss v Astros, 3/16/10 ap

Paul Simon recollects the unveiling of Joe DiMaggio's monument at Yankee Stadium:

• (NY Times): "After the ceremonies we were invited up to the Steinbrenner suite.
• I sat at a table with Phil Rizzuto, who introduced me to his wife, Cora. This was becoming a Yankee-dream-come-true afternoon. After an appropriate amount of time, I thought I ought (to) leave, but Rizzuto said:

• “You can’t leave yet. You didn’t eat any of Steinbrenner’s chicken.”

I said I had to pick up my son at a birthday party and, besides, I was a vegetarian.

• “A vegetarian?” Rizzuto said. “A vegetarian.

• Holy Cow!""
