Posted by Hank Eisenstein on Tue Mar 24 12:51:05 2009, in response to get your finger out of your ASS!!! (Was Yanks are #1, Mets suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), posted by BRONX EXPRESS on Tue Mar 24 12:30:39 2009. A shining example of the mentality of the average Yankee fan. Much appreciated, thanks.Of course, no Yankee fan that I know recalls the era(s) of the Yankees sucking it up, 1965-1977, and 1982-1994. Those are some BIG dry spells where the team rarely contended, attendance dropped considerably, and the team lacked major star power. The biggest story in the 70s with the Yankees was the wife swap between Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich. You also have to stop including the pre-free agency era in the comparison of ANY two teams. Prior to free agency, you either played for the team that signed you, or you DID NOT PLAY. The teams OWNED the players. It's why Jackie Robison retired. The 1951 Dodgers and the 1995 Angels blew bigger leads to not make the playoffs; but again, 1951 is pre-free agency. Oh, and as far as the Yankees being the only team in the major sports to blow a 3-0 lead in a best of seven, the 1975 Pittsburgh Penguins did it to the Islanders. |
