Being a Yankee fan is like being a fan of a #1 rated TV show or the best selling artist on the Billboard top 100. In America it is essential for some people to be associated with a winner, no matter how they are a winner. The Yankess have a herd of these fans. Yahoooooo's, been to the Stadium latley? It's not a baseball game it's an event.

The scoreboard tells the yahoo's when to cheer, how to cheer, and exactly what to cheer. Most of the people do not know baseball, they are there for the LOGO. The Yankees. The team of the moment.

After I hated Wade Boggs (sit down batting champ) for years George hires him? And I have to watch him ride a horse around the outfield? Then Clemons? I am suppose to root for these Red Sox players because they now wear the LOGO?

That's why After 35 years of being a fan I have given up on the Yankees. I had season tickets and used to go to Monday nite games for years. Now it is a Joke.

If the Yankees fielded 9 farm animals they still would have fans.

Your full of it. Most of us have been Yankee fans before the new dynasty. There are allot of "new" fans I'm sure but us oldies who sat through the low years of the 70's are still around.

The only reason I cheer for the Yankees to win is because I know it pisses off liberals.

Have a sweet day.

35 years ago - 1968 to be exact - the Yankees had already won 20 of their 26 World Series, 29 of their 38 league championships. At what point did the joke happen?
