As the World Turns

The New York Yankees are one for the most loved and one of the most hated MLB teams in history. Good business sense, rich owners, hard line rules and tons of tradition have absolutely sold me on being a loyal NYY fan for life. I grew up watching the Yankees , and remember the great Reggie Jackson, Thurmon Munson, argumentative Billy Martin, and I would like to be adopted by Joe Torre! Through all the championships and all of the losses, the Yankees have held on to high standards and tradition- which makes American Baseball great! From the National Anthem to Kate’s “God Bless America”, I am riveted to the television. Joe Girardi is maturing in his role as Skipper this year. I see an even temperament, good role modeling for young athletes, and a positive, loyal attitude toward his players- win or lose. The 2009 NYY are incredibly in sync with each other. Back to back home runs, fun spirited pies in the face for walk off home runs and pure joy in playing America’s favorite pastime. That’s what Yankee baseball is all about!!
