mjrbaseball Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Our updates continue with the New York Yankees the team with the most history so large I needed to break teh picture page into 3 including a a page for all 26 championships. New York YankeesOnce again comments are welcome. I am impressed!As a life-long Yankees fan (holds up shield to block thrown debris), I say you have done an excellent job. Other than a few typos, everything is accurate and informative. The year-by-year highlights are amazing -- many items only the staunchest of diehards would even want to know!(FYI some trivia: after games at Yankee Stadium they always play "New York, New York" as you noted. What you may not know is that when the Yankees win they play Frank Sinatra's version; when they lose, it's Liza Minelli's rendition.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 It should be noted that the Sox play Sweet Caroline by Mr. Neil Diamond after every home win. Why? I don't know. I thought they play 'Dirty Water" when they win. Usually "Sweet Caroline" is played between the 8th and 9th innings when the Sox are winning.
