="Rockin' Doc"]Knot -"And you just know it's only a matter of time until the Jeter-worshipping generation starts to invade." Too late. The media and most Yankee fans already laud Capt. Intangibles as the greatest shortstop in baseball. He's only the third best shortstop in New York.

What I meant was until the get the next generation of FAs start inking multi-million dollar deals with the pinstripers and citing their life-long NYY fandom as the reason, one which dates back to the Jeter posters they had on their walls as young kids. I think the younger Upton brother has already fessed up to being a Jeets fan growing up.
We already know that MFY fans and the media have long been in the tank.



Personally, I think the real players don't even show up to these 'grip-n-grins' but rather they get a Stepford-like robot to substitute. Y'ever notice how they all not only say the same thing but do it in the same programmed monotone? ...
I al-ways want-ed to be a Yan-kee, ev-er since I was a lit-tle boy when my dad-dy told me stor-ies about see-ing [insert Dimag, Mantle, Muson, Mattingly - depending on age]. I wore my Yan-kee hat to school all the time even though my home-town of Bum-fuck [insert state] were all [fill in blank] fans.

Justin Upton is a fan of Steve J. Rogers? Wild.

To be fair, the Yankees are very big in Bum-fuck.
