I can't believe the Yankees are participating in this ridiculous nicknames on the jerseys thing. We're not some upstart XFL league and -- (edited)

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Aug 9 '18, 13:25

the Yankees have a tradition that shouldn't be broken once a year for this terrible promotion. I've learned to accept them wearing hats and uniforms with camo or the stars and stripes, which I don't like but can sort of live with, but names of any kind do not belong on a Yankee jersey. I hate people that wear them and wish they weren't sold.

I was really hoping they wouldn't do this again.

- Oh, I get that the fans love it. I hate the fans too. ;-) - Krusty Aug 9, 14:17 2
  - At least Judge isn’t using a nickname this year. -- nm - Tim Aug 9, 14:18 1
    - I think I heard that Frazier or someone else pushed him to use All Rise. There's no way that's his nickname if he even has one. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:25
If I'm playing a sport where I only get to play for like 15 seconds per game, I'm wearing whatever the heck I want -- nm - con_carne Aug 9, 13:57

I love that, as far as baseball and Yankees are concerned, you are 108 years-old.. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 13:32 27
- :-) Except for the DH which I think both leagues should have. - Krusty Aug 9, 13:38 14
  - your team rules are archiac , get with the times man. - groiny Aug 9, 13:41 13
    - I like the traditions teams have in sports. I think MLB teams should go back to wearing sweaters. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 13:42 12
      - I just want them out of the baggy pants. -- nm - . Aug 9, 13:53 2
        
        I bet you do. ;-) I like it when they wear the pants above the socks or stirrups. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:07 1
        
        Love that look. -- nm - . Aug 9, 14:22
      - the only tradition is the game between the white lines. - groiny Aug 9, 13:43 8
        
        You're very wrong. We aren't special but we have traditions and the team puts that word all over - Krusty Aug 9, 13:49 2
        
        not just my team, all the teams except one, the "special" one -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:57 1
        
        Other teams do as well. The Red Sox don't have names on their home jerseys, just the road ones. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 9, 14:00
        
        Aw damn, groin...now you did it. nm -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:45 4
        
        the facial hair policy and the no names on the jerseys bugs me -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:46 3
        
        It's about your appearance as you represent the organization and the no names is because it's a team sport and not about the - Krusty Aug 9, 13:50 2
        
        then all the players should be paid the same then. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:58
        
        I know why they do that, and I think it is stupid. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:57
- He was just 10 when Boston traded that pitcher to them. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:36 11
  - And he hated it because the picther was batting, too. Pitchers are pitchers, goddamn it! (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 13:39 10
    - Heh. :-) That both leagues don't play by the same rules is ridiculous. Ridiculous! -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 13:41 9
      - I sorta agree, but isn't that due to tradition, as well? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 14:06 8
        
        From the 1970s. So, that can go immediately. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:08 1
        
        think of all the titles you would not have won without Matsui at DH -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:12
        
        We're only concerned with the 100 year old traditions of the Yankees...not the 100+ year old traditions of MLB. jeez... -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:07 5
        
        What are you talking about? There was no DH until '73. Why do you hate fun and more home runs? ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:11 4
        
        Exactly - the tradition of pitchers batting for themselves goes back to the beginning of baseball. Why aren't you crying over that lost tradition - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:12 3
        
        I'd be fine with that if that's the way they go with it. I just want the same rules in both leagues. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:20 1
        
        I'm not such a traditionalist that I can't see how changes can make the game better. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:23
        
        and how about all these Asian players? They should be be doing the team's laundry!!! -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:13

Why? Cause the Yankees are above having a little fun? Making the game a little more fun for fans? -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:28 7

  - Word. nm -- (pic) - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:42 [Attachment]
- They don't have names on their jersey. Never have. It's something I love and many others as well. This is beneath them and all of MLB. - Krusty Aug 9, 13:35 4
  - You're a "just hand the ball to the ref" football fan, aren't you? nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:44 3
    - I am because of the late, disgraced Joe Pa. "Act like you've been there before." - Krusty Aug 9, 13:53 2
      - But I don't get bothered by guys spiking the ball or jumping into the stands. The fans love it! - Krusty Aug 9, 13:59
      - I kinda love that CC was one of the players that was instrumental in creating Players Weekend. nm -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:57
They just wanna be liked. -- nm* - . Aug 9, 13:26
L4! Do you really think the *Yankees* are not going to cash in? -- nm* - Spawn: Blood Feud God Aug 9, 13:25 1
