Way to go champ. The Yanks are the most successful ball club on planet Earth, and if they never win again for a hundred years they'd still be the yardstick to measure success.
LOL.
Say what? Only if no other team amasses a total of 26 titles in the next 87 years. Even if what you wrote was true, it would sure piss off Yanks fans who would be in their triple-digits before they won it all again. They would be like the Chicago Cubs fans are now. That's not exactly a yardstick, that's more like one of those 6" plastic rulers they hand out in kindergarten.
Past glory doesn't mean jack if you have never experienced it in your lifetime. Take it from a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan. The Giants' reputation was built back in New York. The team has been here for almost fifty years, and has been in only three World Series (winning none of the three) despite five Hall-of-Famers beginning their careers with the team (Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, Orlando Cepeda) and a surefire future HOFer (Barry Bonds) on the roster for thirteen years. Giants fans have to go back to New York in 1954 for our last World Series celebration. Meanwhile, the cross-bay rival Oakland Athletics have won the Series four times. Even more galling is the Los Angeles Dodgers having won five Series, the last in 1988 (two words: Kirk Gibson).
On the other hand, my 49ers have won the Super Bowl five times without a loss. They suck like an Electrolux nowadays, and it would be nice if they were contenders again, but I'm more than satisfied with my memories of their dominance of the 1980's.
