Question

Why do you like the yankees besides that fact that you live in new york if you do?

Answer 1

Why do people like the Cowboys or Lakers? It's one of those mysteries of life. Actually, take a team from the Big Apple (which lots of people love as a city), give them a lot of wins (historically, if not this year), and sprinkle in a healthy dose of celebrity power (Berra, Dimaggio, A-Rod, etc.). Bingo, popularity.

Answer 2

I'm not from New York, but when I was in Little League I played for Orioles, A's, Yankees, Phillies, then White Sox. As I played my favorite team was the team I played for, but when I played with the Yankees, it stuck with me, and I was a fan ever since.

I guess the fact that they were a good team helped it.

Answer 3

I like the yankees because theyre my favorite team. Even if they never made the playoffs I would still like them. Of course i want them to make the playoffs though. I dont live in New York either. I live in Mass.

Answer 4

I became a Yankees fan in 1970 my first year in little league at the Silver Hill Boys Club in Hillcrest Heights Maryland & our team name was the Yankees despite my coach, my uncle's choice who was an Orioles fan but most of my teammates wanted to be called the Yankees & him & I still go to the O's & Yankees games together & we saw them play at old Memorial Stadium as well as Camden Yards & also went to a few Senator's games at RFK Stadium before they moved to Texas & became the Rangers but moved to Va later on but still close enough to make the trip to Baltimore & also see the Nationals play too

Answer 5

I'm a Yankee and I started watching them as a young boy when I was born in NY. Alot of people say that their fans are just people who love to win or like them only because they have 26 world championships. But I feel like now, more than ever, you can pin point a true yankee fan. We're ten games out of the AL East and I don't think anyone expected this. But the real fans will be at the game through thick and thin.

Answer 6

jeter and arod <333 hottest baseball players EVER>> and so is robinson cano! =] i also like them if they werent on the team .  

Answer 7

Proud Brooklyn native and Yankees fan. But any team that has won a lot, been on TV a bunch or has a long history is bound to have fans outside of their home area. There are a lot of New York-area natives that settled in other areas and raised their children as Yankees fans despite the fact that the kids have never been to New York.

Take a look at other teams with national appeal: The Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Red Wings, Maple Leafs (for Canada), Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers. All those teams, along with the Yankees, have been winners historically and have been on TV a bunch. And the Yankees also have a lot of fans because they have memorable players from all over. (Mickey Mantle and Bobby Murcer from Oklahoma, Yogi Berra from St. Louis, Joe DiMaggio from San Francisco, etc.)  

Answer 8

Answer 9
