The Yankees are a media magnet. They are written about, talked about, trashed, and exalted on a daily basis. See what you think about the following statements that are commonly made about the team and the organization. I’m playing too.
1) Deep down, everyone wants to play for the Yankees.
True. Every professional athlete who participates in a team sport wants to play in the spotlight and be part of a winning tradition. Reggie Jackson, buried in Oakland, didn’t become a household name until he put on the Pinstripes. Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, and Matt Harvey have all put feelers out at one time or another that, if the stars were to line up just right, they wouldn’t mind playing for the Yankees at all.
