The team everyone loves to hate (unless you go by some formula concocted by the Wall Street Journal: The Cleveland Indians...really). 27 World Series Titles, the most expensive tickets in baseball and now the house that Jeter built (aka New Yankees Stadium). My hate for them was being directed at the Boston Red Sox, that is until last year when they won again and the fact that Curtis Granderson had to change his number because of some thing that Joe Girardi wants to do. I will say that PA announcer Bob Sheppard has one of the greatest announcing voices ever. "Now batting, the shortstop, Derek Jeter" Also this http://www.outdoorsportsaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/jeter-dive-into-stand-1.jpeg is why I hate every Yankee but Derek Jeter or this one http://pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=314&size=550x550_mb&ptp_photo_id=423600
Now the details

Favorite Yankees moment: Maris and Mantle swat for Ruth's record which leads to one of the best baseball movies ever (*61) oh and 1960 W.S. where Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski hits a walk off home run to steal the championship from the Bronx Bombers.
Least favorite: See 27 W.S. wins.
