"I was crying, mom was crying, dad was crying. Ever since I was a little kid, I'd always write I wanted to be a New York Yankee. You know, Kindergarten, Pre K, So being able to live out the dream I've had since I was 4 or 5 is a pretty cool experience," 9th round pick first baseman Spencer Henson explained.
