Bo Sox jersey in Yankees stadium

Jealousy will never be overcome.

26 Rings, 13 straight playoffs

26 rings...most before color TV

It's not as though the Mets, Red Sox, White Sox, Angels, etc... don't ever do similar things. The only thing that the Yankees are really guilty of is being in the largest media market in the world and being a winning team.

Wise man is wise.

That being, of course, the difference between "tradition" and "winning one occasionally."

In the last 10 years:

New York: 3
Boston: 2
St. Louis: 1
Chicago (AL): 1
Florida: 1
LAA: 1
Arizona: 1

It's better (or worse, depending on your view point) if you go 15 or 20 years back. I'll leave you all to draw your own conclusions...

Hyperbole.

lol

Nope, it's not hyperbole. If it were hyperbole then I'd say that every second of every day a Steinbrenner is doing something stupid.


What have the owners of the Mets, Red Sox, White Sox, Angels, etc.. done? I have yet to hear of any other owners mouthing off or doing ridiculous things.

Kenny Williams(White Sox GM) has put his foot in his mouth a couple of time in the last few years, nothing like old Stine.

Well that wouldn't be up to Yankees... but anyway the Bronx DA has said that there won't be any charges. The club is still considering civil action to recover the costs involved.

How ironic and stupid. The team with by far the largest payroll in Baseball (sports?) wants to recover a couple bucks for tearing down their own stadium for something that they had no way of knowing whether it was actually there?

Wow, the stupidity continues.

That would have been outstanding! Someone says "I buried a Red Sox jersey underneath your new stadium!" They dig up the stadium and there's nothing there. That would have made me laugh hysterically.

Would have been funny, but in this case other workers told them roughly where it was... it wasn't just the case that one guy said it was there somewhere (the guy who first reported it had no idea where it was; he'd just heard about it in a bar), there was confirmation.

Probably much like both the Yankees and the Mets recently pursuing charges against fans who tried to steal "souvenirs" from their respective stadiums' final seasons, meant to deter anyone else from trying something similar. And again, there was little doubt that it was there; the report was corroborated by other workers.

C'mon though if you hired someone to build you a house and the guy placed somethingint he ground to "curse" you don't tell me you wouldn't be miffed!

Unless it was something that could actually cause harm, no, I wouldn't care. It's just something buried in the ground. Nobody can see it and it does nothing.

2 in 4 years isn't what I call "occasionally"

[HoustonGM]

It's also not traditionally.

So say a man put a voodoo doll in your cement. You wouldn't want that out? Find you may not believe in the "curse" but some people are truly bothered by that. I could understand the psychological value of having it removed.

No, I wouldn't remove it. It's a piece of fluff. It's not worth the money it would take to excavate it.
