    Posted this in the Steinbrenner thread but seems more fitting here.

    It is pretty crazy how different generations of Yankees fans feel about the man. All are sad today but my father spent the majority of my childhood cursing his existence. Obviously he learned his lessons and made the Yankees, the Yankees again but there are plently of Yankees faithful who despised him for a long time. No matter what, it's a sad day.

    That is what i was thinking to. I am really glad they were able to win last year and they are the best team in baseball (record wise) at his passing.

    yeah, i bit the bullet. i am up in sect 431.

    i'll never forget being at the stadium for the first game since mantle's death in '95. i was only 13 and i'll never forget that day or the emotions in the stadium. crazy stuff.
