Just like those Yankees and Steelers fans....always bringing up the past when the present sucks!
Oh wait, you are a Yankees fan.
OK Brian, I didn't want to go there...but you made me do it!
Being a fan of the
losers teams you follow, it's totally understandable that you don't get it. It's called 'Tradition of Winning'...and with that comes 'Loyalty'. We're not living in the past, but admiring the winning tradition that comes with teams with class who are dedicated to strive for excellence...a body of work. Something you obviously know nothing about.
It's not always 'what have you done for me lately' Baldy...it's 'what have you won for us over our lifetime of following the team.' Being a Yankee fan, there is no need to brag or boast, they're record stands for itself.
New York Yankees
Franchise since: before 1903 (includes New York Highlanders)
Number of years in playoffs: 51
Number of years winning World Series: 27
Number of Hall of Fame players: 18
Revenue in 2012: $471 million
Operating income in 2012: $1.4 million
Net worth: Estimated at over 2.4 billion
Average farm system rank: 12.0
It's ridiculous, really….no other team is even close to this storied franchise in ANY professional sport.
The Yankees have been involved in the postseason
over 40 percent of the time since 1903 and have won 25 percent of all of the World Series played!
It's not a matter of, 'Will the Yankees ever win another World Series?" It's more like, 'WHEN will the Yankees win another World Series.'
That's the difference between you and me and how we think about the teams we follow...you are 'Will?'...and I am 'When'.
Go Blue Jays!
Go Panthers!
Go Fliers!
LMAO... :laugh:
