Most patrons at Lucy's Pizzeria in Ossining said they were not fans of baseball, yet those that were said they were not excited yet for the season.

"I used to get excited," Tony Arpaia said. "But I don't love baseball like I did years ago."

"You don't know who is clean and who is not," Marillo said.

Marillo said he was looking forward to Derek Jeter's farewell season.

"Jeter is the face of baseball," Marillo said.
