The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 19 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
It could have started at the beginning of the year when Steinbrenner spent almost $200 million on players, more then any other team in MLB history. It could have been the fact that the Yankees have such baseball phonemes as Derek Jeter, ex-Mariner/ex-Ranger Alex "Payrod" Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, Hideki Matsui, Bernie Williams, Jose Posada, Ruben Sierra, or ex-Mariner John Olerud. It could be that Babe Ruth is back, with a vengeance. Or maybe it�s the fact that everybody, except for half of New York, hates the Yankees. Pompous, arrogant, snobbish: three great words to describe the Yankees. It could have started last year when the Yankees beat the Red Sox�s in the 11th inning. It could have started on Sunday when the Red Sox�s beat the Yankees in a win-or-go-home game with a 12th inning homerun by Ortiz. Maybe it was Monday when the Red Sox�s beat the Yankees again in extra innings, taking the to 3 and 2. Or maybe it was today, "[w]ith blood seeping through his sock and bravado etched on his face, Curt Schilling shut down the Yankees and – just as he wanted – shut up 55,000-plus New Yorkers…" forcing a game 7, and potentially upsetting decades of baseball tradition.
