I've been alive for 28 years and the White Sox have made it to one World Series. You weren't even middle school and already had five. Unreal. What a charmed existence you Yankees fans have lived!

My nickname was Yogi when I was kicking around in my mom's stomach. When I was born, my dad was in the car listening to the 1953 World Series. Unlike the boy pictured in JRod's article who had not seen a Ynkee title in his first 10 years of watching baseball, I Yankees had won 5 titles by the time I was 10. I knew there line-up from 1 to 9 and would bat left or right depending on who I was impersonating. I was married in the fall of 1977 and got home from work just in time to see Reggie jackson hit his third HR. The Yankees went on to win the title in 1977 and 1978...and like the little boy pictured above, boys of JRods generation were deprived of seeing the Yankees winning titles for 15 years. He became a White Sox fan, he got the pinstripes right, but wrong log on the chest. Good article. The Yankees are indeed back on top. I had no choice then to be a Yankee fan.

They have great chemistry, and are an absolute franchise. They won it all and they deserved it. But how and why did they deserve it... They bought it. =) IMO, the Yankees are a great team.

The Yankees have had the highest payroll for the previous eight seasons and didn't win a championship. So, money clearly doesn't buy championships. I'm a Cubs fan, and all those hundreds of millions of dollars haven't done anything for us. And Red Sox fans, you really are the worst. Your payrolls are always in the top five, and often second; you have no reason to cry (although, we all know you will continue to). And Jerod, did you really mean depraved to describe the kid, or deprived? Good grief, people, get a life.
