Oh boo hoo. I’m 37 and have yet to see the Orioles in the World Series.
43 and have endured 29 years of mostly losing. Only 5 seasons of those 29 above .500 but 2 WS Championships in between.
I hope you get to see your team win a WS one day!
You too. I already told my wife that if the O’s win the World Series in my lifetime, I will probably die from excitement shortly after it was over so plan accordingly. I did promise my mother grandchildren if the O’s ever won the World Series but I don’t think I’ll have to worry about that anytime soon. By the time that could happen, I’ll probably be wearing a diaper, drooling on myself, and talking nonsense anyway.

I mean it's hard to feel bad for anyone that uses the "27 rings" line then cries about not being able to see a championship.
Also as a Mets fan I was born 2 years after their last championship and have gotten to see nothing but epic collapses including thr Matt Harvey game in the World Series and even I don't have it as bad as some fans. Noone going to feel bad for a Yankee fan because even tho you have been getting knocked out you at least make it to the playoffs each year and have a chance. -

2009 I was a 6 year old so I didn’t get to stay up and watch the full game. Ironically enough, 2010-2011 was around the years I started watching every Yankee game. I’m now 18 and haven’t gotten to watch my team win a World Series.
Every year it’s the same thing, the same pain and heartbreak. Y’all act like all Yankee fans are spoiled, and it’s just not true. I’m an adult now and haven’t seen my team do anything important in the playoffs live. It’s the same heartbreak every single year.
I get it, but believe me, the Yankees will always be an institution of winning. They hit a major lull in the 80s and early 90s and came back as the best dynasty from 96-03 ( 4 WS championships and 6 pennants) in my lifetime. They will be back. And once they win it all, they'll just keep winning. Still, it sucks to watch them fall short.
Institution of winning? I watch them get to the playoffs to do nothing year after year. Those days are over. George Steinbrenner’s team was an institution of winning, I didn’t get to enjoy any of that
The Yankees have lost more world series than any other team has won. I live in San Diego man. That is the epitome of losing. 0 professional sports championships in human history. Luckily the weather is awesome and the girls are beautiful so we are easily distracted. But the Yankees losing in the playoffs for a decade or so is hardly a cause for concern.
I get your frustration. But the Yankees will retool the offense and I'm sure within a few years will be back in the series. Meanwhile the Padres will be passing out a blinged out medallion 8 times a year to Eric Hosmer whilst another unknown manager quietly collects and defers to heir Preller.

I tell my family all the time, I physically saw my team win twice. I can die a happy man and if I ever saw them win again, it's just icing on the cake at that point.
It's a mathematical factor that the O's will be good and win again.

Mariners not only have a 20 year playoff drought, but are the only team not ever been a participant in a World Series game.
-
Cubs went 71 years without making it to the world series. Kind of hard to have a lot of sympathy for a 12 year drought.

Yeah the first 27 years of my life as a Red Sox fan were pretty rough.
But the last 17 years have been pretty sweet!
I was a Bostonian by birth. Attended games at Fenway in the ‘50s and heard Curt Gordy call the games. The first Series victory in my lifetime made me cry. And my Dad was here to see it.

I strongly believe their time is coming though. I have a really promising future right now

I was so bummed the Mariners didn't make the WC game. I truly hope the next few years their window opens up wide.
As for the Orioles, a team with great history, just not recently but hopefully things are looking up with Cedric, Adley, Mountcastle, Mancini etc.
The Mets were similar to the Padres this year, major injuries and a second half collapse. They will hopefully bounce back as they have the talent to do so.
Hang in there OP. Your Yanks will most likely beat our teams to the punch.

I'm a Mariners fan. I'm almost as old as the franchise. I have no sympathy.

If only the Yanks had one more win and homefield. Could have made a difference. https://youtu.be/z0Mge8P9mAY

Honestly, I believe in sharing the wealth.
Enough of the Yankees and their arrogant fans.
I follow a few on Twitter and at times wonder how can one root for a team that has won so many, while others haven't had a sniff?
It is joyous to see a starved franchise win.
That said, I hope Milwaukee or Tampa do it, finally.
27 is enough. Relive their WS victories on video, because nowadays you play 3 to 4 rounds before you make WS, to use a Show term. It's not easy.
So, go Rays. Go Brewers. Fear the

I have no sympathy especially what Yankees fans said to Zack Greinke. Will never respect that fan base again.

I believe it was Game 4 in 2019. They were heckling him about his mental illness and his mom.

True!
I actually went to game one of the 1975 WS with my grandfather and watched the Reds take batting practice. Pretty awesome. Then Luis Tiant shut them down. But... they lost in 7.
Then, 1986, game 6, I'm in a bar with all my friends, the place is packed, everyone is screaming... and the ball goes through Buckner's legs. The place went from bedlam to dead silence in a second.
But, since 2004, it's been much better...
