27 Championships and Counting!

The Heart of a Champion

When you think about the Yankees, you think about, the prestige, the glory and the fame. In addition, what also comes to mind, when one thinks about the Yankees' is they that define; what a being a champion is all about. Twenty-seven times proves that. In memory of the Boss George Steinbrenner, I've include this image of  him.

Steinbrenner while he was alive ruled with a "iron fist."  He was very demanding and as result of his authoritative nature, it brought back the winning ways to Yankee Stadium. We survived and endured an 18 year drought, that ended in 1996; when the Yankee's beat the Atlanta Braves in Six games.

Steinbrenner always tried, to put together the best team possible and give the Yankee organization; a chance to win a championship.

Now some people could say, "yeah well that Yankees bought those some of those championships."

Well my answer to that is, you still have to put nine men out in playing field and play well enough as one unit to win ballgames! And no amount of money can do that for you.

A good example of that statement, would be; when the 2003 Yankees who on paper should have demolished every team that stood in its path. The Yankees, lost to a team that was not filled with superstars and blown up contracts as were 2003 Yankees.

Folks they simply lost to a team, that outplayed them in all aspects the game! That team was the 2003 Florida Marlins.

There are more examples that one can cite here, but you guys my  point! You still have to go out there and play the game for nine innings and on any given day, any team can be beaten! 

The Yankee would not have a chance to taste some of the "Bubbly" until 2009 when they beat the Phillies.

It is 2015 and as a Yankee fan, along with tons of Yankee's fans, we await our 28th Championship banner and trophy; to hang up and put on display in Yankee stadium. Until my next post, enjoy and be well :)
