Boo-flippin’-hoo

March 20, 2013

So the entitled Yankee fans are turning their backs on the Bronx Bombers because of a few injuries? Welcome to the world of every other baseball fan.

Richard Sandomir chronicled the last time the Yankees fell so low — 1965 — which “No current Yankees player was alive to witness.” He gives a nod to Marty Appel, who, out of necessity, had to include the sorry mid-sixties in his recent team history, Pinstripe Empire.

Appel said that the former Yankees he interviewed for [the book] preferred to ignore those years. “They were still championship caliber and were still wearing World Series rings,” Appel said. “It was like a blight on their record. They were almost embarrassed that this happened on their watch.”

Sorry, but you get no sympathy from this Mets fan. Or that KC Royals fan. Or that Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Or that…
