Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Top offensive team ?
This is such garbage. I'm betraying my youth here (I'm 24), but when I was a kid, just beginning to form my team alliances, the Yankees were mediocre at best. And the Mets were on top of the world. ALL of my school friends were Mets fans, because the Mets were the best team in baseball. I became a Yankee fan to be a contrarian, because I didn't want to be a bandwagon jumper. My family was all old Brooklyn Dodger fans who had turned their back on their team in 1957, but not on the game... they figured I'd find my own team if I loved the game enough. I was a huge Mattingly fan. But when I was first falling in love with baseball... there were no playoffs for my team. There were no championships. There was a string of middle of the pack finishes, injury problems for my favorite player, a last place debacle in 1990. There was Steve Sax and Steve Howe. There was a pitching rotation of Tim Leary, Chuck Cary, Dave LaPoint, and Andy Hawkins. This was what Yankee baseball was to me when I was growing up. It hasn't been that long since we had a bad team.

Of course every team's attendance goes up and down with the success of the team. But to listent to Yankee fans they are there come hell or high water. It's simply not true. The fact is that it's been a long time since they had a bad team.
