<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\nPhoto courtesy of the governor’s office.<\/em><\/p>\n Gov. M. Jodi Rell says she is a big Yankees’ fan, and she took time out of her day Friday to check out the team’s 2009 World Series’ trophy. <\/p>\n With the help of her staff, Rell said she even captured the moment via a web camera and sent the footage to her family in Colorado. <\/p>\n Rell was not the only one to pose for a picture with the trophy. For several hours Friday, a steady stream of people filed into the Capitol to see the hardware. The line to see the trophy was out the door and some waited for more than an hour in the cold. <\/p>\n While some Yankees’ fans kept glancing at their watch, Valerie Pistritto and her 10-year-old son, Michael, both of Newington, did not mind waiting. The pair called themselves life-long Yankees’ fans and said they have seen the team play in both Florida and New York. <\/p>\n Michael wore his Yankees’ hat and jacket to the Capitol Friday and posed for two pictures — one with the trophy and one with the governor, who made her way through the crowd, shaking hands along the way. <\/p>\n
