I'm 28 and have never seen the A's appear in a world series. Us fans born after the Bash Brothers era have it rough
You guys still moving to Vegas?
It's all up in the air right now. Billionaire owner John Fisher is patiently waiting at Vegas gentlemen's clubs while the city/county decide what's next on the proposed stadium

A's were my team prior to the Marlins inception. Those late 80's teams were a spectacle!

If the A's do move to Vegas, they have to build a retractable roof for the stadium because Vegas can be really hot during the summer.

It would be cool to go check out an As game if you were in Vegas for a weekend or whatever. Feel bad for the Oakland fans but I think it would be great.

Look at the Raiders, their stadium is so beautiful. I do believe that Vegas has the budget to build a new one but we don't know since the A's are not making deals yet.

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.
It’s funny that as a Yankee fan you think you are entitled to the World Series.
I remember Billy Crystal on the Late Show years ago harping on how world series titles belong strictly in New York and some other nonsense that really highlights how entitled Yankees fans are. I'm not saying every fan is and can understand the OP's frustration but he is super young and has plenty of time to see a team that makes the playoffs virtually every year win a title. But yes, Yankees fans are absolutely spoiled.

Hell, I'm 33 and a Brewers fan. Haven't even been to the World Series in my lifetime. At least we're good now, after all those years I suffered through in the 2000s.

I grew up a hardcore Astros fan and all they did was let me down year after year throughout the 90's. Then they won the WS after I moved on. What a bunch of jerks.
I really wanted Biggio and Bagwell to get a WS in 2004(?) but it just wasn't in the cards...
Yeah, but THAT team is the Houston Asterisks. And 2005 was the year you are thinking of; they lost to the White Sox and AS a Sox fan, while we are on the subject, that was pretty much the biggest highlight of the White Sox EVER, let alone in MY 35 years on earth; another team with a pathetic history.

As a Chicagoan who hates the Twins more than any team on earth, I can agree. To win divisions but lose like 14 straight playoff games and just get swept every time? I can't imagine what that does to your psyche every time they enter the postseason.

I'm a devout Yankees fan in my mid 40's. I was talking to my sons about this exact thing this morning. I was born in 76, so I missed the 77 and 78 titles. I was still too young to remember the 81 series loss to the Dodgers. They didn't win a World Series until 1996 when I was 20... I hold that series and team in such high regard. My father who played semi-professionally in Puerto Rico and was huge fan passed away in 1993. One of my biggest regrets is never getting to share a Yankees World Series victory with him... I didn't even get to celebrate a Yankees playoff victory. My oldest boy was born in September of 2009 so he was only a few months old the last time the Yankees won the World Series. I can't wait to really share a World Series moment with him when they (hopefully) finally win again!
What team/town did your dad play for in PR?
He played for a team in Santurce. Details were always scarce but he always had trophies and medals from his baseball and boxing days.

I have no sympathy especially what Yankees fans said to Zack Greinke. Will never respect that fan base again.
I missed it. What was said?
I believe it was Game 4 in 2019. They were heckling him about his mental illness and his mom.
Some idiot fans don't represent all of us. I stick to positively cheering for my teams rather than boo for rivals.
I thought last night was pathetic of red Sox fans chanting Yankees suck instead of let's go red Sox. Fans of all teams do things that don't reflect the majority
-
A strict salary cap and revenue sharing would make the NYY more like the Knicks. I’m not impressed with teams buying so many of their players.
-
I haven't seen my team play in a world series since elementary school. At least expectations for your teams haven't sunk so low that a season ending in a wild card round [censored] kicking was considered impressive enough to make a major hollywood movie about it lol.

And you likely miss out on Clemson in playoffs too this year.

As of right now, they are missing out on being in the top 25.

I think the Yankees are cursed. Remember that incident when there was the Ortiz jersey buried where they were going to build the new Yankee Stadium in 2009? Well, the Yankees haven't won a WS since 2009, so that's how it seems to me.

Outside of the early 80s, '87 and '92, the Brewers have been awful throughout my lifetime up until like 2008. As a kid I remember watching the '82 Series as my parents threw a party for game 7. It's been a rough franchise to cheer for, but at least we have the Packers and then finally the Bucks last 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
Bro- 27 World Series wins, 40 appearances. The all time Winningest franchise (championships) in the history of sports. Come 2 hrs south to Philadelphia and I’ll show you what pain is being a Phillies fan.
