I grew up a Mets fan in the NYC area. I never hated Yankee players. In fact there were many over the years I liked. What I grew to absolutely despise is the smug uninformed attitude of many Yankee fans. Yeah, that jackass over there with his stupid 28 rings jacket.
Many Yankee fans have a sense of entitlement that is ridiculous. Particularly fans under 40. It’s like we are supposed to win every freakin year. Like that’s how it supposed to be. I was born a champion. We deserve to win every single year. Crazy.
Also many of them go and on about the Yankee tradition and legacy and couldn t pick Lou Gehrig or Whitey Ford out of a police line up.
The Yankee hype on prospects is just absurd. Every prospect who gets 5 hits is all of a sudden a future hall of famer. This poor Volpe kid was the second coming of Derek Jeter. Dominguez is the second coming on Mickey mantle. The hyping of prospects by the entire organization is way overblown. Phil Hughs was a hall of famer after half a season. More than other teams.
The retiring of numbers has gotten stupid. Yankees are so far from Ruth and Gehrig it’s laughable. Waiting for Scott Broscius’ number to be retired soon.
I could go on but will spare people.
The tears of entitled Yankee fans are a source of great enjoyment to me. I suffer as a Mets fan and lose in bizarre ways. But I maintain my dignity.
