Ill be honest. Growing up around the Yankees all I hear is negativity. Just like

BYU! Yankees go the ALCS and the season was a failure. "Everybody needs to go. Aaron Boone is the worst manager since Lave Cross of the 1899 Cleveland Spiders." Cashman made a team that can't compete." etc. etc. Even after wins there is negativity. (Also like BYU!) So maybe hearing a fanbase actually be positive about their team rubs me the way. In that sense, ill try to be better.

The Yankees should hate the Astros more. They would have won it that year.

Trying to say it's not just elite, it's historic.

He has a 0 defensive WAR. Not great
