He then recruits a handyman to expand the space under his desk for more headroom, a shelf for an alarm clock, a drawer for a blanket and a cup holder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is better than my bed at home,&#8221; he says once it&#8217;s complete.<\/p>\n<p>Costanza then tests it out and takes a nap. But Steinbrenner &#8212; voiced by Larry David &#8212; soon enters his office looking for Costanza and when he can&#8217;t find him, waits inside. Eventually, Costanza phones Jerry Seinfeld and asks him to make a fake emergency call to get Steinbrenner out of the building.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees also released a bobblehead of Costanza during a game against the Red Sox last season. In that one, Costanza is in his batting stance while wearing a dress shirt and pants combination.<\/p>\n<p>Crowds lined up four hours before first pitch during the Costanza giveaway last season.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees are once again honoring their &#8220;assistant to the traveling secretary&#8221; this season.
