Don't hate, just appreciate.

Not hating. I respect Jeter, I respect Rivera. Probably would have respected the old-timers as well if I was around back then. All I did was ask a question. What other organization has come remotely close to having the same success historically as the Yankees?

Ive been to the original Yankee stadium to watch game but in my opinion the most fun I've had was Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

You asking about baseball? The Lakers in the NBA and Montreal Canadiens are dominant in their respective sports as well. If just strictly talking baseball, St Louis Cardinals has the second most titles.

I don't know what you're trying to go for, but just like life, you will have winners and losers. You will have millionaires and billionaires and homeless people and beggars. In a free society, you can't make everybody "equal." That's what communism strived to do, but we know how that worked out.

The Lakers have the Celtics as competition. The Canadians would be close, but they don't have more than twice as many Stanley Cups than the runner up, like how the Yankees have more than twice as many World Series trophies than the Cardinals. Also initially there were only 2 professional hockey teams, and than expanded to 6. It didn't expand to anything of scope until the '70 and '80s, so at the end of the day the Canadians aren't even close to being the 'symbol of inequality' as the Yankees are known to be. Many people believe inequality to be the number one issue in the US and the World. The Yankees are the 1%, and are the representative of the issues faced by our nation.

That's a guaranteed loss for the hometown team. You might want to visit another city then. The Knicks are a disgrace to our city.

So the Yankees should strive to lose just to please your philosophy of everything should be equal? With that philosophy, why should anyone work hard for anything? Why even play ball? Just give everyone 100 wins and award everyone a World Championship trophy and call it a day. It doesn't get more equal than that.

That's funny you should take that position. We don't want winners, remember?

Why should the Knicks strive to win? NBA should take half the wins from the Hawks and redistribute it to the Knicks to even things up.

'09 wasn't even the same. I'm surprised Hank and Hal haven't already changed the name to "Bank of New York Ballpark." The new stadium has no atmosphere, the city is filled with non-NYers, the Yankees let likable players like Melky, Cano and Swisher go. A-Rod is a jerkoff, Teixeira is a bum and Beltran is a Met to me. Hank, Hal and Cashman are clowns. Why should someone want to sit in NY traffic at 6pm on a Thursday and spend $150 in the most expensive city in the country to be disappointed?
