Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1458506, member: 780"] So Yankee fans with their team currently securely in first place don't care about Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Maris, DiMaggio, Berra, etc., etc.? If they really don't care, there's a lot of uniform numbers they could reissue. Who should they give #3 to? or #7? [I]I'll bet if you get underneath it, the Yanks being in first place currently isn't the reason Yankee fan are Yankee fans.[/I] [I]Rutgers has no real tradition --- except for playing a rugby game vs. Princeton years ago ... so to them history and tradition aren't important. But lots of them are also Yankee fans and I'll bet history and tradition matter in that.[/I] History and traditions do matter in sports. [/QUOTE]
