I agree with all but your first pick. Dave Winfield is one of my childhood favorite players and I didn't even mind when he signed with the Yanks back then, it meant I got to see him play more often. Mike Pags was a big fav in my family, too.Collective Trollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214312372172286275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999088286115850898.post-80777645425900514712009-10-28T15:51:21.303-07:002009-10-28T15:51:21.303-07:00Could care less who wins the World Series but at l...Could care less who wins the World Series but at least the Yankees back up their obnoxiousness by actually winning things.

(Though you've heard me say that before..) Just because many do, doesn't mean they are the majority. I will give you that they are a love 'em or hate 'em type of team, but that's going to come with the territory of their success. People are going to hate on a team and find new reasons to hate on them when it is a team that probably bashed their favorite team time and time again. If you aren't a Yankee fan, you will get sick of hearing about them since they are all over the place. That IS obnoxious and I know you'd not disagree.<br /><br />I am not a Yankee fan, but I have such dislike for the Phillies that I honestly don't know who to root for. My issue with the Yankees has to do with their payroll, first and foremost. Thus, if I want them to win, I am rewarding them for their jerkiness. I do get tired of hearing about them. And their current team makes me truly upset. It bothers me that players go there for so much money and in turn, it makes me think less of the player more than the team itself. Lately, it seems all of the magic of being a Yankee has been diminished. <br /><br />One of my grandfather's good friend played for the Yankees, you know that. As such, my grandfather got to hang out with Yankee greats and that makes my head spin. To me, that sounds so amazing. I would not think hanging out with any of today's players would evoke the same feeling. But again ... I don't know how you could begin to compare hanging out with Mickey Mantle to dingbat Alex Rodriguez.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178327703320885784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999088286115850898.post-1623562246477487322009-10-28T09:09:56.881-07:002009-10-28T09:09:56.881-07:00A top 10 list of favorite Yankees?

I'd definitely be able to do a Top 1 list of my favorite Yankees.<br /><br />Least favorite Yankees? Oh, that's a great post waiting to happen.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.com
