1. Where are they now?

2. I wish my 3 year old self could remember this team sigh

3. *Greatest Team of All Time

4. Ahhh the good old days. This feels like a century ago.

5. God what a boring call. The stadium’s rocking, Mo’s on the mound, and all we get is a dribbled out “on to the world series.”

6. Reminds me of just how bad Costas really was.

7. That Indians team was terrifying

8. There is absolutely nothing like the old Yankee stadium. Nothing. Real fans weren’t priced out entirely, no one was sitting behind home plate like they were at a library. It had insane aura that paralyzed opposing teams. The new stadium can get very loud but I don’t think it necessarily psyches out opposing teams like the old stadium could. Playoff baseball at Yankee stadium in the 90s was pure electricity. Tearing down that stadium was one of the absolute hardest things I ever had to deal with as a fan and as a sports fan. It’s downright blasphemous to have torn it down. The new stadium is a well sanctioned shopping mall that can get very loud, the old Yankees stadium was a jungle.

9. Thank you Cashman for destroying this once proud franchise

10. The greatest baseball team in history.

11. Better than the ’27 Yankees? I know none of us were born, but that team was loaded.

12. Without question the greatest MLB team of all time

13. And now we simp for the regular season.
