How can anyone be a Yankee fan.?

Its because of their entire history past and present. The Yankees represent a winning organization and team. This would attract bandwagoners. They are in New York, so New Yorkers or anyone born and raised there will most often like the Yankees or Mets. They have many superstars, and the people that are full of themselves and like to be the boss, this is their team. Also, some of these superstars like arod and jeter have their individual fans.

YANKEES!!? HA! you'r kidding me guys... the Mets are doing a hell of a job and I think they can pose as a serious threat.. Hopefully it doesn't mean that they'll end up in a race spending as much money as the team from the Bronx does.

As a Yankee fan, I hate to say it, but our only chance at winning was last night with Chien-Ming. Although I DO think that they can salvage one game, I couldn't tell you which.

detroit is my fave team.  even when they were crappy, i still stood by them.  i dislike the yankees becuz they always win.  it's high time detroit rises out of the fog they been in since the 1990s.

The Yankees!!  Unlike a lot of the band wagoners that have answered here, I like the Yankees because of their history, not only winning championships, but their history in the game.  Whenever you think baseball, you think of the Yankees, love them or hate them, they are on your mind.

yes i do despise the red sox.  a rod is not my favorite yankee.  my reasoning behind this is because he did not come up a yankee.  he is a natural star. i feel that my favorite yankee is derek jeter. he has a lot of talent and was brought up in the yankee farm system.  i think to be a true yankee, you have to be brought up learning the ropes in the yankee farm system, anything less would consider you an accquisition in order to try to improve the team.  as we all know, the yankees do not have many farm players coming up and it is sad.  maybe if we rasied more talent, we could win our 27th.

Ok I will admit I am a Yankees fan but I will try and give you my unbiased opinion. Derek Jeter is slightly overrated but he is still a great player. For one his defense is very overrated he is an average at best defender who tends to make a few exceptional plays a year that stick in peoples minds. His hitting though, for a shortstop is exceptional. He is one of the best offensive shortstops to every play baseball. Not the best but top 10. So far in his first 11 seasons he has hit .314 with 1936 hits, 1159 runs, 169 home runs, 763 RBI's and 215 steals. If he was able to keep up his current pace for 6 more years (very reasonable he will only be 37 then) he will have 3172 hits, 1897 runs, 277 home runs, 506 doubles, 1249 RBI and 353 steals. \n\nThat would place him 15th on the all time hits list 12 hits behind Cal Ripken. That would be the third most hits ever by a shortstop. And 6 more years is just a conservative estimate. He would be only the fourth person to retire with 3000 hits 500 doubles 200 home runs and 300 steals with Paul Molitor, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson.\n\nShortstop has never really been a power hitters position so his 20 home runs a year is pretty good. The last thing that builds Jeter's legacy is his winning. He came up at the start of the Yankees run, he has played in the playoffs every year of his career (minus his initial short callup) and in the playoffs he has hit .307 with a .379 OBP and a .463 SLG\n\nSo I guess I agree with some of your points, he is a sub-par fielder and if he had played on the Pirates and not made all those playoffs he wouldnt be as well known. But he would still be a hall of famer. His numbers are great so far and if he can stay healthy he should end up with some very impressive numbers. Another reason a lot of people love him is the intangibles. He is the Yankees captain, he hustles on every single play, he has kept his nose clean and not gotten into any trouble. He is basically the all american pretty boy and everyone loves that. Whether this is worth 20 million a year I dont know. I dont think he is worth that much on the field but his marketing value probably makes up the difference. I hope that answered your question.

hello! i don't know, but you answered my question, when I asked for Yankee fan's email addresses. i think you gave me the wrong one, or messed it up, because when I tried emailing you, it didn't work. Could you try again, please? Thank you.\n\nkimmy

Listen to Colin L.\nThe 98 Yankees were arguably the best team ever.

The YANKS, even though I am a Red Sox fan.  \n\nAdd it up.  You have more valuable Yankee baseball cards and memorobilia than Red Sox stuff.    The difference is almost enough to make me switch.  (But it is fun to sell baseball cards to Yankee Fans as a Red Sox fan, but it would be impossible to sell anything to a Red Sox fan if I were a Yankee Fan).

The Yankees are the best organization in the history of sports. They have a great tradition. Going to Yankee Staduim is like going to heaven.
