They have an amazing history and legacy, and I’ve always been a fan of the Yanks.
As for Arod... well... that situation is what it is.
The Phillies had a rough year too. Shame, because they appeared to have promise early on. Charlie Manuel was a real character; the local talk radio station would have him on every Monday morning. He was a riot to listen to. And he took them to two consecutive World Series trips, one of which was a win, which shuts up all of his critics.
