Endangered Species alert!

The 1980s were rough for Yankee fans so I feel your pain (and it could be worse). But thankfully they had a good run to close out the 90s so here's hoping they figure out how to win big games again.

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.
You beat me to the punch on this one man. A Yankee fan complaining about their team not winning is a bit comical to a San Diego sports fan. If he was living in San Diego at his age, he would have gotten to see his baseball team make the playoffs once, last year, in a 60 game season! Not only that, but he would have watched as his football team skips town to San Diegos rival city, LA. I love San Diego and have lived here all my life. I love all of San Diegos sports teams and I hate to call us the epitome of loosing, but we certainly have had enough of it.

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!
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...
i'm 44, with no knowledge of sports in 1988 i fell in love with Mike Greenwell, Ellis Burks and Oil Can Boyd, and became a red Sox fan, i also fell in love with a running back from Oklahoma St named Sanders....one took a while but paid off in 2004, 07, 13 and 18, the other....i'm still waiting....lol
44 year old Sox fan here too!! Loved all the players you mentioned.
I even remember the Rich Gedmans and Marty Barretts.

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!
-
Yet you still flex "27 Rings" huh?
-
At least I have 87’ and 91’ but I’m not expecting another before I croak.
-
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...
-
Not to sound cold but I find New York and Boston fans complaining about any sort of winning droughts or just not winning in general to be just so precious.

Ok, perhaps the epitome of losing was a bit harsh haha. We get to claim Tony Hawk and Shaun White. And despite a really frustrating year, I am hopeful the Padres address these issues and bounce back.
Don't get me started on the Chargers 🤯🤯🤯 .
But like you said, our city is amazing for so many other reasons, it's hard to be too mad.
as for this post, It's a bummer not being able to share a title with father and son. My Grandpa was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan from Bedford Stuy and would always tell me about the glory days of the 40s and 50s. It would have been nice to see his reaction last year when the bums finally won again after 33 years. That would have been the only positive hahaha.You and your son will have your Yankees title or 3 I have no doubt. Just stop trading for guys like Joey Gallo :).

It’s funny that as a Yankee fan you think you are entitled to the World Series.

Haha....Maybe a bit harsh, but you definitely can make a case for the epitome of loosing tag. As a die hard SD sports fan though I just refuse to admit it...ha.
Yes! Tony Hawk and Shaun White have had their share of winning in their respective sports, we definitely got that! As a kid growing up in P.B. in the mid 80s I remember going to Hamels skate shop and watching an up and coming Tony Hawk put on these shows in front of their shop in Mission Beach.
As far as the Chargers, the C word is not even spoken in my house. Unless we are talking about the SAN DIEGO Chargers. They never should have left San Diego.
I think our Padres will be alright. The second half of this season was a disaster for so many reasons. It seemed like nothing went our way in every aspect. We have a good core that can win but there are definitely some changes that need to be made, and I think theyll be addressed. I am already looking forward to next season to get this bad taste out of my mouth.

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.
