I echo the principle. It makes more sense to look at who is being paid. For example, 40 million dollars is set aside for Aaron Judge, a player they drafted in the first round and made a Yankee for life. That is supposed to be what every owner does. I find it increasingly strange that people would criticize the Yankees for keeping their own players, while also criticizing players for opting out and going to the highest spender.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but this breakdown of the two New York/Long Island fan groups is as close to 100% accurate as possible:
• Mets/Jets/Islanders • Yankees/Giants/Rangers With baseball, it was always the channel niners versus the channel eleveners...and I miss those halcyon days (Whoops! Needless show of emotion).

I've been a Yankee hater ever since I was a wee pup. When I became aware of baseball as a first grader in 1958-59, there was a very large contingent of Yankee fans among the big kids in the schoolyard. This of course pushed me in the opposite direction and I was first and foremost a fan of whoever was playing the Yankees through my formative years up to and including the 1964 World Series.

Favorite childhood memories -
1- Mazeroski breaking the hearts of all the Yankee fans in the apartment development. Honorable mention to Lew Burdette for his 3 wins in the '57 Series. My dislike has mellowed over the decades, but I still absolutely always root against them. The more heartbreaking the loss the better.

Most satisfying Yankees losses. For me, probably the ALCS game 5 14 inning Sox win in 2004, after they had tied it (I think) in the 8th with a sac fly against Rivera.
