The Yankees? Are we discussing the 27-time World Champion Bronx Bombers? Oh, OK, then.
I hate the New York Yankees.
This is an all-too-familiar sentiment. It’s only human … and natural. The most successful American professional sports organization in the world will, naturally, become loved and hated on both extremes to a level unforeseen in history. Both fans and evil wishers form lines that’ll make you local Six Flags Great Adventure blush. (Although, admittedly, that does seem like an absolute impossibility.)
Then the MLB season of 2016 happened. Gary Sanchez happened, the representative figure of the complete transformation of the Yankees organization.
