"Jorge Posada had a rough final season with the Yankees, but on his final day in pinstripes, a teary-eyed Posada admitted he never considered playing anywhere else.

"Playing for the Yankees has been an honor," Posada said during a press conference at the Stadium yesterday. "I could never have worn another uniform. It was just priceless. I will forever be a Yankee."

With his family by his side and teammates in attendance, an emotional Posada, 40, admitted he knew during the season that it would be his last."
