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.
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.

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
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.

Dude you are just a child you started watching baseball 12 years ago. Try being a Cubs fan some people went their entire lives without ever seeing them win a championship. I'm not trying to sound rude but grow up you sound like a baby.

I was 21 years old in ‘96. I remember the run very well! So well that I’m still sick of the Yankees. One of my favorite moments was watching a very young Josh Beckett walk into Yankee Stadium and completely shut them down!! Still sick of em!

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

I remember being happy for Yankee fans in '96 after they had endured the 80s and early 90s. They were a team that had some young home grown players, a couple names, and reclaimation projects at that point. Charlie Hayes, Mariano Duncan, Ruben Sierra, Strawberry mixed in with Boggs, O'Neill, Tino, and youngsters like Jeter, Bernie, and Rivera.
What they became was a completely different animal. Clemens, Giambi, Mussina, Sheffield, Matsui, ARod, Contreras, El Duque, etc. If there was a bidding war, they would win it. The winning on the field was one thing, but then their ability to buy whoever they wanted on top of it was what really pushed most fans to the hatred of the franchise.

My future as a Rockies fan, 0 championships throughout my lifetime. At least my football team got their first ring.

Yeah, I’ll agree with this statement. Even though I wasn’t a Yankee fan, I still felt bad for Donnie Baseball. NY won in ‘96 a year after he retired. He was a class act!

All Yankees fans born after 99 know is pain
They did win one in 2009. You would have been young, but depending on how much after, you could have watched it. I still can’t believe that 3-man rotation. Pettitte is the best postseason starter ever.
I remember watching the Yankees as a very young kid. They were so bad. No playoffs until I was a little bit older. I saw them pitch a no-hitter and lose though. -

As of right now, they are missing out on being in the top 25.
DJ sucks and we have no offensive line due to injuries. And nothing is being done about it. At the very least, Dabo should give another QB a shot, because from what I've seen so far, DJ's performance last year was a fluke.

That’s who I was referring to, yes. They took the no hitter away from him later.

I agree! I'm not a Yankees fan, so I'm naturally inclined to hate them. One of the main reasons I hate them is that they pay to win, and they don't care if they go over the spending limit. It's just disgusting to me

If I remember right, there were like 9? no hitters that season. I had SI pictures/covers all over my bedroom walls, and I think I had one that showed all the pitchers that had no-no's that year.

I have no sympathy especially what Yankees fans said to Zack Greinke. Will never respect that fan base again.
What about how Yuli made racist actions about Yu Darvish

I’ll never understand why a fan would want their owner of the team to save his or her money. It’s not like if Steinbrenner saved his money I would have got a cut. I understand being annoyed that your team can’t compete with a bigger market team, but I wouldn’t call it disgusting. And I completely understand why the Yankees are hated. I hate the Patriots. But Spending limits help no one but the wealthy owners. You know the players aren’t fans of caps and spending limits. Pay the man! And I want every dime the Steinbrenner’s have poured right into the team. We’ve certainly been burned by bad lengthy contracts, and I blame management for that, but I never want them to save their money so they can be more fair to other teams in the league.

I think it's refreshing to see other teams then the Yankees or Braves winning the world series. I started watching baseball in 1995 when I was 9 and for the first 6 years it was Braves, Yankees, (Marlins) Yankees, Yankees, Yankees. So you can suffer a bit longer in my opinion.

You can't be a "pay to win" team if you ain't winning. They are just paying.
Wait... Does this make the Rays NMS???

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 live 10 minutes away from the yankees old aa team. They got rid of them because they needed something to blame. The minor league system. I heard the new aa team charges an arm and a leg for anything. I believe it because tickets went up in price. It's only 3 dollars (which I would pay) but after they did that in the off season I bought a rays hat and never looked back. It bothers me that yankees lose so what do they do? Get more Allstars. And still lose. The more I think about it the more I wonder how anyone has pride knowing that all you did was buy the biggest names. Watching tb is like watching major league and rooting for the Indians.
