Yankees become third franchise to draw 4 million September 24, 2005 NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees surpassed the 4 million mark in home attendance Saturday, becoming the third major league franchise to reach the milestone. The Yankees drew a crowd of 53,911 for a 7-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, boosting their season total to 4,035,560 fans with one home game remaining. The only other teams to draw 4 million were the Blue Jays in 1992 and '93, and the Colorado Rockies in '93 -- their first season. ``It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world,'' owner George Steinbrenner said in a statement. ``I cheer our fans as they cheer us, day in and day out. And I thank everyone in our organization, on and off the field, for helping to reach this amazing milestone.'' On Sunday, New York will almost certainly break Toronto's AL record for attendance. The Blue Jays drew 4,057,947 fans in '93 on the way to their second consecutive World Series championship.

cause they suck


The reason the Jays even had the chance to be included in that record is because of the Skydome is so large.

I remember going to sold out games, i loved the huge crowds!

I was at that game in 1992!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They made a huge deal because it was the first time ever it was happening. They gave everyone in attendance a free t-shirt (which I still have)

We also clinched the AL east that night

I used to go to like 5 games a year. I still go maybe once a year now...only if the tix are free though. Went earlier this year with the woman and I managed to snag a fowl ball. w00t!

my point exactly. Real fans go because they like baseball in general. bandwagoners only go when the gettings are good.
