My argument was that the past should be recognized but what is most important is who is winning now. I’m more concerned about losing 3 of 4 to the Angels; you should worry about your bullpen blowing a game to the Devil Rays. The Yankees are the most successful team in sports history but I don’t bring that up until I’m provoked. No fan takes more abuse then the Yankee fan. When we win it’s “the payroll”, when we lose it’s “how could you lose with that payroll”.
You wonder why we always use the Yankee history. I went the Sunday game at Camden Yards to see Red Sox vs. Orioles this month. The ballpark was about half RS fans. I couldn’t possibly count how many anti Yankee Tee-shirts I saw. The Yankees were playing Cleveland, they weren’t in Baltimore. You guys should wear anti Harry Frazee Tee-shirts, you can thank him more then anyone for what Yankee fans have to brag about.
