Ive been a fan of the Yankees since before '96 and I dont know, off the top of my head I think it was '78 - I know they won back to back in the 70's. I became a fan of baseball around '90 when the Twins were kicking ass, and my cousin and friends got me into the Yankees. Donny Baseball is my fav. Yankee ever.

No need for that man. That's why they have so many soccer riots in places like the UK. At least in the US we don't have too much of that stuff, but yeah I hope the marlins kick some ass lol.

-Actually now that I think about it, soccer hooliganism is more linked to strong drunken feelings of nationalism whereas the "world" series is only a N.American phenomenon.

Let's go take it out on Canada. :P

well, i completely and utterly refuse to watch one game of this world series. this went from being possibly the best and most exicting world series ever (cubs v. red sox) to one of the worst possible outcomes (marlins v. yankees). we went from basically all of america watching the WS, now to only half of the east coast. yankee and marlin fans are happy... baseball fans are not.

and so, to feel like that?
i'd pay any price just to get that back.*

I am a huge yankees fan (season ticket holder) and even I was kind of rooting for the cubs v. redsox. That would have been the best World Series ever and fixed baseballs ailing ratings. The Yankees being in AGAIN coupled with the apathy in Florida makes for another HO-Hum series.

no need to compare soccer and baseball; one is a good game and the other is not !

Yea really ... the yankees have been to the world series 36 times. Who's going to give a shit about this one?

I too refuse to watch this series.
