Cecil Fielder was my childhood baseball hero. I remember listening to my Dad tell me about how Cecil would smack the ever living shit out of the ball, right into the parking lot of Tiger Stadium. Cecil left the Tigers after several amazing seasons to play for the Yankees. After what seemed like one short, shitty inning, he immediately retired. See, even HE was too good for the crap-tastic shit-pile of dog vomit that is the Yankee's club.
The Yankees are to baseball what the Dallas Cowboys are to football: An organization of sell-outs. Like the Cowboys, the Yankees throw unbelievably stupid amounts of money at a bunch of mediocre players in hopes to stir enough of a shit storm in the sports world that people are forced to watch the games just to see what the hype is about these players. A great example of this is Alex Rodriguez.
Ok, the guy is good.
Real GOOD.
But not so much more than the likes of such greats as Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, Mickey Lolidge, Denny McClain, Ken Griffey Jr, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Tony Phillips and George Brett. Yet A-Rod is the highest paid baseball player?OF ALL TIME!!!! And, to put shame in a showdown, it turns out that A-Rod was never even that good to begin with. NO, SIR! Just recently, it was discovered that Alex Rodriguez, The Yankees shining star, used steroids. Well there goes his legend status
?.but wait?.
we aren't hearing shit about this anymore.
Why?
Because the Yankees board throws enough money at the media outlets to stave off criticism. We were so quick to crucify McGuire, Bonds, and Giambi when we found out they were on the juice, but A-Rod comes out, apologizes, makes a bunch of excuses like," I was young" (he was in his twenties and big boys know the difference between right and wrong) and "There was so much pressure to be the best boo hoo hoo", completely exploits the greatest game ever played and the only thing the United States of America can truly call it's own, and everything is hunky dory. Fuck you, New York Yankees.
The other thing that I find amazingly retarded is that, literally all over the world, it is FASHIONABLE to be a Yankees fan. Case in point:
I do a lot of international travel, mostly to the Middle East and Central Asia. About 18 months ago, while walking through the Marina Mall in Kuwait City, I came across a Western clothing store. Needing a new pair of sandals, I walked in. Well how surprised was I to see not one, not two, but several different styles and colors of New York Yankees ball caps. This is in a country that not only can't really stand Americans in general, but has absolutely no idea what baseball is!!!!
Assholes of all stripes wear the NY logo for no particular reason at all. Guys from Los Angeles, Detroit, Kansas City, Atlanta, Cleveland, Toronto, and even Mexico wear this shit-fuck logo. Even mother fuckers in Europe and Asia wear it for the sake of "fashion." Now, I may not be the world's best expert on fashion, but why would you wear the logo of a baseball team that you don't even support nor care about. Even on the other side of the world where baseball is just considered a fucked up version of cricket, why? I can't stand people that wear those fucking caps anywhere but New York. You aren't from New York, you have never been to New York, you don't even like baseball?.. STOP WEARING THE FUCKING CAP, ASSHOLE!!!!!
But I digress?this team is the worst thing to happen to baseball. Their fans suck, their players suck, and their legacy?well?sucks. Babe Ruth was the last decent thing to happen to the Yankees, but that's only because he was the king. He could have played for the Marlins and they would have kicked everyone's ass. Yes, I realize the Marlins weren't a team when Ruth was alive so bite me.
And so I will conclude this with one short statement that basically describes the worst team to ever disgrace baseball: Fuck you New York Yankees! You are so full of shit!
