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.
That is hilarious.

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.

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.
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.

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!

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.
