congratulations on your Ny yankees. I wanted Philly to win game 6 -so there would be a climactic game 7..whereupon I would just root for a good baseball game..
My Ny life growin up was not as fixed as i just spent large portions of nearly every summer for about 18 yrs in different parts from Queens to Atlantic and Long beach causing mischief with my male cousins of the same age [what a rich time in life]
-They are rabid yankee fans-i got calls from them last night after the game “with How about them yankees”!!
The worlds fair as a young teen, Coney island, Jolly Roger, flounder fishing in Jamaica bay, countless days spent jetty fishing on the Atlantic, clambakes, toga parties -stickball-rite of passage ritual of a fair fist fight with Irish Mike in Jackson Heights to gain my place in the crew-who would not let me pay for a beer in his bar when I saw him 20 yrs later and he recalled how I gamely fought him while he kicked my ass..Yeah-there is a lot I love about Ny too..HOW ABOUT DEM YANKESS!!..MICKEY MANTLE, MOOSE SCARON, CASEY STENGEL, ROGER MARIS,ELSTON HOWARD, BOBBY RICHARDSON,WHITEY FORD,....DEREK JEETER, MATSUI…

IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR YOU SPEAK UP ABOUT YOUR ENLIGHTENED SMART GROWTH VISION FOR CHARLES COUNTY AT LAST NIGHTS S.G. MEETING…FOR WE DONT NEED ANYMORE BUSINESS AS USUAL IN THIS COUNTY..WE NEED THINKERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY…WE NEED YOU ON THE COMMISSION

Sounds like we grew up not too far from each other.  My first Yankee game included a lot of those stars you mention.  Then came the lean (Horace Clarke) years.

I was very impressed by last night’s event.  It was well organized and most of the presentations were produced for the lay person to get it and appreciate why this is so important.

Thanks for introducing yourself to me and thanks again for your support.

guess you’re not aware, then, that the Yanks had 11 players on their WS roster who are homegrown, ie, came up through their farm system.

so, please, explain this pervasive attitude to me.
