Why does New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner have high expectations for the Yankees? I have realized that the owner of the New York Yankees George Steinbrenner has high expectations for his ball club, the New York Yankees. Every year, it seems that he wants his team to Win The World Series and if you do not win to his expectations, you face consequences Also, why does Steinbrenner have high expectations that the owners of most other franchises. For example, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones does not have consequences when the Cowboys do not make the post season. and the Owner of the NBA Detroit Pistons William Davidson does not have consequences for the team not winning the NBA Championship.

Golden Gophers the New York Yankees of college hockey? I love the Gophers men's hockey team and despise the New York Yankees baseball club and my friend called me a hypocrite and said the gophers were the Yankees of college hockey. I don't think that is right. It seems to me that the Yankees buy their teams and are truly evil. Fair comparison or not?
What is it about the New York Yankees that you hate? George Steinbrenner’s philosophy or the team? What is it about the New York Yankees do you hate? George Steinbrenner’s philosophy or the team? George Steinbrenner purchased the Yankees in 1973 for $8.7 million dollars. Can you believe that? Being the aggressive business man that he is George wasted no time in constructing a blue print for immediate success for a team that had been terrible for years. That blue print meant going out and after any good player he could to build a winner with. He went out and he signed players like Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Goose Gossage, Dave Winfield, and many other players of impact to put a winner on the field. During that time he changed managers 20 times in 23 years. He was never been found of rookies unless they were exceptional. Failure was not an option nor tolerated. Today the Yankees are worth over 1 billion dollars according to Forbes. George’s philosophy / blue print for putting a winner on the field has not changed. His philosophy has brought six world titles to the city of New York in 33 years. That’s a title every 5 years. My question is? Had George Steinbrenner purchased and applied this exact same philosophy / blue print to another team and had the same results, would you currently hate that team? I say this because when they were losing under the ownership of CBS no one cared. Now they are the “Evil Empire” for winning. Do you hate MLB for not setting a definitive salary cap and using the luxury tax instead? The Yankee payroll was $198,662,180. The team had to pay $26,000,000 in luxury taxes. That’s equivalent to (3) Johan Santana’s. Are you sick of them wining all the time? Beating your favorite team in the playoffs? Share your reasons for hating this team? Dear, Child or Time Traveler. I am a Yankee fan. I was expaling to those who hate them for no reason. If you don't understand what's being said it's best you go ask mommy or daddy to expain it to you, or simply don't relpy. Read it again rookie!!!
Will the New York Yankees win the World Series this year? Can they go all the way? They've shown in there previous 7 games vs. the Red Sox that they are not to be messed with as the Yanks destroyed the Red sox, but can the New York Yankees go all the way this year? They have the hitting, but even though the Yankees don't have a solid 4 or 5 spot in the rotation, even a 2 spot! (Burnett), can the pitching be reliable enough to take the Yanks all the way?
Can you be a fan of the Patriots, Celtics and New York Yankees? Just wondering if it's possible to be a fan of both boston teams, but also be a die-hard Yankees fan. Does your love for New York's baseball team make you a second-rate fan of the other Boston teams, or is your baseball preference seperate from the other sports?

Do the New York Yankees need a new stadium? Why or why not? ? In your opinion, do you believe the New York Yankees need a new stadium? Why or why not? =================================================== I personally do not believe the Yankees need a new stadium because the current stadium they played in from 1923-2008 is in good condition and could have still be used for years to come for baseball. I do believe the New York Mets needed a new stadium because Shea Stadium is just not equip to today's modern ballparks.
Can a player be considered truly great if he never played for the New York Yankees? Let's face it, playing for for the Yankees is like being promoted into a whole new level of baseball. Only the truly great ones can still excell. So, if a player never plays for them, how do we know? DE-REK!!! JE-TER!!! maybe they should have another section in the HOF for guys that played great while with the Yanks and call it THE PROVEN HALL OF FAMERS

What do Boston Red Sox fans say the NY in New York Yankees stand for? Obviously they mean something other than New York. I heard that they say it stands for something, but don't know what it is. umm...I know it stands for New York obviously. I already said that but noone seems to be listening....I've heard Red Sox fans poke fun at it by saying it stands for something else.
What song do the New York Yankees play every time they score a run at home? It sounds almost like a church bell: "Ding-dong-dang-dong. Dong-dang-ding-dong." It can be heard in the opening track of ESPN/Tommy Boy's Jock Jams: Volume 4, but the Yankees have it by itself, which means it's most likely a song. The song is definitely NOT "New York, New York." Sinatra's piece is only played after each Yankee win. Likewise, Liza Minnelli's version is played after a Yankee loss. But the song I was looking for only plays when the Yankees score a run.
Are the New York Yankees the new Boston Celtics? The Celtics have won a championship now, and I think either the Yankees or Liverpool are the new Celtics. By that I mean, we have a great history to look back on but very little to celebrate recently...and now we cant say that about the Celtics. I'm a diehard Yankees and Liverpool fan.
