Did anyone else hear the stats the other night? There have been 100+ World Series. The Yankees have been in 40 and won 29!!! Thats almost being in half of the World Series and winning over 1/4 of them...actually almost a 1/3 of them!!!
And some people get excited over being there for two years in a row. In the 50's the Yanks won 5 in a row I believe!

Not bad Huh!
Even my Cowboys haven't done that in football. Although the have been in more Super Bowls than any other team (8). They are one behind the Steelers in wins. Only because of a terrible call in the 1979 SB!!!!!!

I assume you are referring to the Benny Barnes pass interference. That bogus call changed the entire game. Yep, I'm still bitter.
best comeback EVER!!!!! i love replaying that series on my VCR
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
YES, that is THE call......and YES I am STILL bitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for 2004......the best part is that the BOSOX went on to SWEEP the "REDTURDS" in the series.
8 wins in a row.............not bad!!
<< <i>I wonder how many titles the yankees would have won WITHOUT Ruth
Actually, the Yankees got to 7 World Series with Ruth on the team, winning 4 of them. Here's a rundown of major Yankee players and their World Series W-L records:
Ruth 4-3
Gehrig 6-1
DiMaggio 9-1
Mantle 7-5
Berra 10--4
Jeter 4-2
Steve
Doesn't look like Ruth was the "main" guy to me.
I'm not even sure Ruth could play in today's game!?
<< <i>They have won 4 in the last 30 years, considering all the money they have spent that sucks. >>
The amount of uninformed ignorant comments like this one easily out number the comments from those who do the homework. This ding dong probably thinks the Yankees have spent like they have the last 10 years since 1923.
Also, its a shame good baseball talk gets mucked up from the infinite clueless who hop in shouting PAYROLL PAYROLL like they have a clue.

baseball had the Yanks payroll, I can assure you the numbers would be different.
Yanks this century have been awful, one ring when they have had the highest payroll every year? Is Yankee fan still riding the coat tales of Mantle
and Dimaggio 50 years later?
LOL
Bottom line: the Yankees have a great nucleus of homegrown talent on this current team, complemented by free agents any team and its fans would like to have. What they spent this year is fine by them, and they have wound up with, at minimum, the second best campaign of 2009. That is a successful year. Period. Last I checked, there's no official MLB clause that says, "Well, you spent X on payroll, so if you don't have a WS win this year, you failed."
"Awful this century" is harsh and the century has a long ways to go. Isn't success measured in WS wins, pennants, and division crowns? If it was WS wins only, by that logic every team but one would be "awful."
I for one think people can ride the "coat tales" (it is COATTAILS) of past wins. There is no difference between hypothetical TEAM A touting a win from one year ago, TEAM B touting a win from six years ago, and TEAM C touting a win from twenty years ago. Once one brings up past performance, ALL PAST PERFORMANCE is fair game to reference. Otherwise anyone can choose any statistical snapshot/sample space to frame any assertion they want. That is why most sports arguments wind up all over the place. Mantle is as valid to reference for the Yankees fan as, say, Brett is to reference for a Royals fan.
The Phillies payroll last year must have dwarfed Tampa's; does that cheapen Philly's WS victory? Not in my eyes. Until MLB changes its rules to create more fiscal parity, the Yanks are free to do whatever they want, as are the other big market teams. Instead of hating on the Yankees, folks should take it up with MLB.

How about stop being a dumb a$$ and do a bit of research. The payroll CRUTCH is a familiar cheap talking point for dopes. I assure you, especially the 1996 team, most of the Yankees Championships came when they did not in fact have the number one payroll by huge margins in which dopes like you like to cry about.

Also, I would expect the Yankees to retire #51 once Bernie finally announces his retirement. #2 and #42 are givens and considering he still has a bundle of years on his contract, it is not improbable that #13 will also be retired. Sadly, I fear that there is even thought given to #46 for Pettitte. That would be a shame! I gave up on the reitred numbers when they retired #44 for Reggie. That was a joke!

I don't know about Bernie Williams. You retire his number, then what about Jorge Posada and Paul O'Neill. Also, if you retire any of these numbers, you'd then really have to retire #6 for Tommy Henrich.
Just my opinion, but to me, Pettitte seems like the most deserving of the bunch, due to his big-game and post-season exploits. It just seems that when the Yankees needed a big start from their pitcher, Pettite's been the one that came through the most for them.
It's got to end somewhere though.
Steve
As much as I have love O'neill, Bernie, Jorge, and Andy there is no reason to retire any of their numbers. Great careers .... especially Pettitte's 16 Post Season wins and counting, but not number retiring credentials IMO. Perhaps .... Perhaps if Andy pettitte did not bolt to Houston for three years I would think differently about him. Perhaps.....

Reggie Jackson's number being retired was a joke. I don't care if he hit 48 home runs in one World Series. He made his mark and I loved him as a kid. Bottom line is that he was really just a very bright ...... very bright flash in the pan in New York. In NO WAY should his number have been RETIRED for crying out loud. RIDICULOUS ...... that was all George looking for a hero during the miserable decade plus to follow that late 70's team.
