What is with the Yankees?


The Steinbrenner's (family now) team is poised to win their 41st pennant. [if they do the Yankees will have won 35% of the AL pennants in 114 years.

I am not sure anyone saw this coming this year.

That is certainly a remarkable record. Imagine the All Time Yankees team the franchise could boast of!

Well, they gave it a run. I think Girardi is moving on though. I think he is burnt out. Hank Steinbrenner is no George.

I confess I was a Yankees fan. Primarily due to Mantle.

Thurman Munson and Derek Jeter. Not so much Rivera. I do not fawn over a reliever who only had to pitch one inning every outing. Give me Rollie Fingers and Sparky Lyle who would go close out a game starting in the 6th inning for a save.

I agree with you concerning the pitchers. Love them or hate them the NY Yankees have had marvelous teams throughout their history.

The Yankees were always able to buy great talent and have great teams. Salary caps have leveled the playing field more. NYC was, and still is, a big media center so guys wanted to play there not only for the big bucks, but also media exposure to make them stars.
