“Javier Vaquez booed as Yankees can’t rally - Staring at the ground and booed as he made his way off the mound, http://su.pr/4W4Kab”

I am well aware of my Mets’ many flaws but can we once and for all put an end to the idea that somehow Yankee fans are classier or better than any other fan base? Fans boo, it’s mean-spirited and unkind. It happens in all sports in every state. So, please Yankee fans zip it.

The Yanks could not draw 3 million  when they had good (not great) teams in the 80’s, with stars such as Mattingly, Winfield and R. Henderson. Bottom line, they fill that stadium because the Yankees win and for that reason only. Not because of tradition or the holy pinstrpes or because they don’t wear names on their uniforms. And of course it was nice that the Yankee fans gave Hideki Matsui two standing ovations on opening day but that was because of performance, not because of Yankee fan class that was claimed yesterday, yeah, I’m looking at you ION . Please, people booing and jeering is not called a ‘Bronx cheer’ for nothing. Baseball rant over. thx.

  1. girlinboyland said: Hell yeah. Lifelong Mets fan here, who was invited to the Yankee game yesterday. Plenty of booing, and when the Angels hit a ball into the stands, the whole stadium tried to intimidate the person who caught it into throwing it back. Kill the myth!
