The handsome man pictured to your right is Michael Imperioli, who played "Christopher Moltisanti" on "The Sopranos." He was at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, learning all he could about the art of catching from Jorge Posada for an upcoming movie role.

The actor is playing a catcher in a TV movie, "For One More Day," which is scheduled to air near Christmas. Imperioli came to Yankee Stadium yesterday to chat up the Yankees catcher about playing behind the plate.

"I like to get a lot of different impressions, you know: what they do, where their head's at," Imperioli said. "He's my favorite catcher."

Imperioli said he is a lifelong Yankees fan who first took in a game in 1969 on "Mickey Mantle Day." Yesterday, he had his 9-year-old son with him watching batting practice.

"It's surreal," he said. "There's just like this magnetic pull that this place has."

Later, Imperioli chatted it up with Roger Clemens to research another movie role in which he plays an over-the-hill pitcher hellbent on making an ungodly amount of money while desperately trying to save the Yankees' season.*
