And wore short fat ties over their bellies on those rare occasions when so required. Not to mention interfering with players from opposing teams on the field of play at Yankee Stadium. (See Jeffrey Maier 1996.)
But "classy" Yankees? No, never.

Yankees
players have a wide reputation for classiness. Think Mattingly, Jeter, Rivera, Judge, etc.
Don't see how the Yankees can be held accountable for their fans.
