I'm quite aware that many if not most of the forum members are quite 'anti-Yankees' and I must admit that my grandpa taught me to hold the Yankees in disdain.

 

However, a recent article on a current call-up by the Yankees caught my attention. And I must admit that after reading the article about this young man, it is very difficult not to admire and root for him to be successful, in spite of the fact that he wears pinstripes, as long as his success does not come at the Red Sox expense!

The link did not work for me, but I agree with your overall point. I 'hate' the Yankees, but that's just sports rivalry talk. I don't wish any ill will on any of their players, even the creepy ones like Joba Chamberlain when he played for them.

 

And if it's a feel good story, then it makes me feel good regardless of the team.

Please don't try to convince me that you felt sorry for Joba when they let the gnats loose on him in Cleveland though.

OK, you got me there.

And if it still doesn't work, try Googling 'Clint Frazier debut: Yankees prospect has an incredible secret'

It's worth the effort. Very inspiring 'feel-good' story.

I get along great with Yankee fans in person because we usually know a lot about each others teams. Plus I always think of the Yankees as the worthy foe seeing as they are so darn rich. Plus they stole Damon which forces us to use Ellsbury, then stole Ellsbury and forced us to use JBJ. The one thing bad about the Yankees is they inevitably overpay players and raise all the salaries in MLB.

 

I sure didn't like Joba though. Not at all.

Very nice story Dustcover. Thanks for sharing. Clint Frazier is indeed good people, despite being a Yankee.
