THE YANKEES
THE BRONX BOMBERS
THE PINSTRIPES
THE GREATEST TEAM EVER?
The Yanks, where do i start. Should i start with there story book history. Or may be with there great players. Or with there ability to make a pro feel like they are still playing little league. These are all great points to make but my true feeling toward the Yanks lie some where south of great. The Yanks are much bigger then just a team in MLB, they are a fashion statment, a trendy thing, what the cool people cheer for.
Over the years i have come to relive that most people you see wearing yankee logo stuff dont know a bunt from a put out. They see rappers, movie stars, ther friends wearing this stuff and its the cool thing to do. These are the same people that are so closed minded that when there team is down the first thing they do is blame it on someone else like the umpire or a badly called strike. On the other hand when they are doing well they feel the need for the whole world to know that they are yankes fans and thAt there team is the greatest. Now im not talking about all yankes fans im talking about most the most resent ones. They are not baseball fans they are yankes fans. This was no more eveident when you have to have riot police out on the feild of yanke stadium to prevent fans from throwing baseballs, beer bottles (plastic ones), and anything not bolted down on to the feild. Why? cause they didnt like the call. Do these people thing that by showing just how disrepectful yankes fans can be will change the call on the feild.
ump one "hes out"
ump two "hes out"
fans "hes safe"
ump one "no hes out"
fans "lets throw shit on the feild"
ump two "hey they are throwing shit on the feild, hmmmmm maybe he was safe"
ump one "oh i see clearly my error from before, how could i be so blind. im glad they threw shit on the feild. HES SAfE"
Is this what they hoped would happen. Now im a New Yorker, be it a Met fan but still a New Yorker. When i saw this going on at yankee stadium i was so upset with the way New York reacted to some thing that was so black and white.
Im glad Boston won, i hope that the ghost of Babe Ruth sees the way the yankee fans acted and lifts the curse. Go Bean Town
