Even though they have not won a World Series since 2000, Yankee fans are acting as if they are the superior being entering in to this year’s Fall Classic. Here are a few of the problems they have with the Phillies:
On the Philly Phanatic: The Phanatic’s lame shtick consists mostly of stomping on objects and attempting to hex opponents. If he succeeds, it’s because opposing players wonder if someone slipped LSD in their Gatorade.
The Yankees, like most winning teams in baseball, have no mascot.
On Winning: As far as sports go, sure, the Phillies have won two World Series championships compared with the Yankees’ 26, but far sadder is that no one from Philly cares much.
On the Ballparks: And don’t even try to compare the iconic House That Ruth Built with the long-gone Veterans Stadium.
“Their stadium had a jail cell for rowdy fans because they like throwing stuff at people,” said Laura Hall, 35, of The Bronx.
The Phillies’ current home, Citizens Bank Park, is jail-free, but the fans are still thugs, Bombers faithful said.
It seems that they have forgotten that the Phillies are the defending champions and that Yankee Stadium is already falling apart.
