The Yankees know all about being disliked. As the franchise everyone loves to hate, they certainly get a lot of mileage out of luxuriating in that animosity. For the Tigers, the levels of bitterness have gone down some since the teams stopped sharing a division in 1997, but it’s still enjoyable to poke fun at them.
As they are now, the Yankees are a relatively young, dynamic team, with three of the best hitters in baseball at the core of their lineup: Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez.
