One of the secondary markets that springs up whenever the Yankees are either in a period of prosperity or on the periphery of one is this:
The Unsatisfiable Yankees Fan.
They are the ones lately who have looked at the 100 games the Yankees won in the regular season and the two others they added in October as the sport’s longest exhibition season. They are the ones who believe Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman somehow performed a season-long undermining of the team, the GM by not acquiring Jacob deGrom and Mike Trout at the trade deadline, the manager … well, by not being Joe Girardi (who was never anywhere near as popular from 2008-17 as he was in 2018).
