Do Yankees players ever get starstruck by anyone?

Major League Baseball players possess a certain level of fame and celebrity. Fans who get to meet big leaguers are sometimes starstruck by their presence, unsure what to say to the world-class athletes they watch on television every night.

We wanted to get a sense for what it takes for a New York Yankee to be nervous around someone else. Before CC Sabathia's celebrity softball game, we asked a few current and former Yankees if they've ever been starstruck.
