Message: [QUOTE="donniesyracuse, post: 1109376, member: 101"] Matt Nokes was my favorite for a few years. I had a #38 jersey (with no name on the back; I hate that replica jerseys have names). I was devastated on the day during the 92 season when Mike Stanley was officially declared the everyday catcher. It was the right call. Injuries ended his career early. I suspect he could have been a PED guy. I remember seeing video of him in batting practice where he must have put 20 balls in the seats consecutively. He did have a seemingly effortless swing. Anyway, those were dark times. It felt like forever, but the Yankees only really sucked for a few years. One can notice an attitude difference between Yankee fans who lived through that 88-92 period and those that came after. The same is probably true for fans that survived the late 60s and early 70s.
