Any Yankee fans out there

bill voss


there already are large parts of the country that don't care.

            Baseball's appeal is now much more regional than national. With the exceptions of the Yankees and Cubbies(maybe the Red Sox), there are few teams with national followings. A Green Bay-Jacksonville Super Bowl would garner huge ratings despite the size of the markets whereas even an Anaheim-Philadelphia World series between large markets will not draw the ratings of yesteryear.It is the nature of the beast in the current world.

I don't know what makes me more happy- that the Yankees won last night, or that the Red Sox are done for the year.

            Dale, you are right. Yankee fans are so much less obnoxious than Red Sox fans.

Sorry for this...Let's go Angels!

Keep in mind I've had to deal with 9 years of continuous Red Sox  cultish, frenzied ARROGANCE 

I wasn't like this before I moved to Rhode Island, my attitude  like most other Yankee fans in the NYC area would have been "who??? The Red Sox? or was it Toronto? or Kansas City? Oh well, whatever, same thing............

WJ-

You must know a lot of different Yankee fans than I know.  I saw a Cub fan getting his butt kicked by a couple of classy Yankee fans when the Cubs came to the Bronx a couple of years ago.  They were all over us during the game, and it wasn't good-natured ribbing, either.

But keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

I've lived in NY most of my life, I've been to many Yankees games, much more than I can count. I've NEVER seen a fight break out- ever! I sat in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium while they were playing the Red Sox- nothing at all.. I remember seeing the Yanks play Toronto back in 2000- I was living in Pittsburgh at the time and had just gone to Camden Yards in Baltimore and Veterans Stadium in Philly.  The general feeling of that particular game was just "sedate". Frankly, I never experienced anything like you did and honestly I find it hard to believe.

By the way, I've been to 4 games at Fenway- and each time at least one fight broke out. In fact Fenway Park is the only park I've ever been too where I've actually witnessed a fist fight at a ballgame.

You're right.  There are no fights at Yankee Stadium.  I must have been lying.

And here's one with Yankees fans ignoring a Red Sox fan.

And here's how they welcome out-of-towners to the stadium.  (There's a few of these)

Here's an article where a patron at Yankee Stadium hit an ump with a thrown bottle

There's plenty more, too.  Fights happen at every stadium.  I've seen them at Cubs games, White Sox games, Twins games, and North Stars games, just for a few.  Now, if they fight in Minnesota, which is known for "Minnesota Nice", they'll fight anywhere. 

I once sat behind some Jets fans at Soldier Field about 15 years ago that started a fight with some other fans in front of them.

I suppose it could be that those were all just isolated incidents at Yankee Stadium where these issues only coincidentally occurred when someone had a camera.  Also, when when Kobe Bryant was accused of rape in Colorado, that was probably the first time he ever cheated on his wife.

If they keep making fielding and throwing blunders they will not even win one game.

Yanks go up 2-0.

Is there anything can stop this scrappy group of underpaid unknowns?  Somehow, their brilliant second-year manager has been able to bring this underrated group together and become the Cinderella story of the year.  This is pure sport at its best.

Your sarcasm is as bad as your baseball taste.........Another walk off win.....A-Rod is clicking......if you are simply a fan of baseball, this was exciting baseball. indeed!!!

Seriously. That was such a great game. Didn't get enough sleep due to it but who cares. This is what baseball is all about. Anyone else want a Yankees/Dodgers series?

You betcha!

Congrats to AROD. He has been really clutch in this year's playoffs. Ugh!

There's no doubt in my mind that fans at any ballpark can get rowdy- even triple A- probably the most rowdiest triple A ballpark I went to was Spring Mobile Ballpark formally known as Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City. If a bunch of Mormons can get rowdy, anyone can, however in my 30 years of going to Yankee Stadium, I've never seen a fight break out there or any other ballpark other than Fenway and you know how many ballparks I've been too and how frequently I go.

My first time experiencing the bleachers at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox fans from Boston had the "cojones" to sit in the bleachers and instigate trouble by taunting the fans around them. The fans around me simply told them to "shut up" , no taunting back- nothing

By the way, here's Papelbon leading a "Yankees Suck cheer" a couple of years back.
Real classy guy-

Like Mariano Rivera would ever lead a  "Red Sox Suck cheer

Now here's a scene I'm all too familiar with at Fenway

Yes, that would be ideal!!!!

 This lifetime Sox fan would LOVE to see a Yanks/Dodgers series. Talk about history!
 I apologize for all  the Sox fans who are jerks. Some of us try to be good sports. The hubs and I would love to see a game at Yankee Stadium. I may not cheer for the Yanks, but I won't boo them, either. 
  Jeter is an awesome player and will be a Hal of Famer one day. Named for a Bruins star, BTW.

Dem bums are going to have to do a lot better than they did today if they want a shot at the World Series.

Yeah....kinda figured the Dodgers wouldn't get passed the Phillies but just hoping. That was just brutal!

That would be too tough for the old Brooklyn Bums fans! They can't root for the Yanks; they can't root for the team that deserted them.

But it was only one game.  If they do not bounce back today I think we have to write them off though.

Two great games today. Rollins was clutch for the Phillies. Don't know why Girardi made that pitching change.
