Hack Wilson - real:
are you a Yankees fan or a suicidalist?  can't tell

MistaNova:
I guess you could call me a Yankees fan (Lord knows I don't root for any other major league baseball team), but my Yankees fandom pretty much died when Posada retired. Since then I've done nothing but talk shit about them and their fans. Mostly their fans and free-agent signings.

Was Posada's retirement bigger for you than the Mariano/Pettitte retirements? And how about Jeter's upcoming retirement this year?

Yes. The way the media constantly shoved down how 2013 was Mo's last year down everybody's throats ruined Mariano's retirement for me and the way Pettitte came back after retiring (which was admittedly pretty cool) ruined the first and second retirements for me.
As for Jeter all I can say is good riddance. I hate how he's hurt the team by refusing to move from shortstop (spoilers, we'll be seeing more of it this year), I hate how the fans treat him like Jesus Christ and I'll definitely hate how the media will shove his last year down our throats this year. As a guy who thought Mo's last year was too much, I can only imagine how much worse the Jeter version will be.
Until the Yankees have a nice core of homegrown guys again (for whatever it's worth they do have one down in the REALLY low minors) my fandom won't be coming back anytime soon. And especially not while they're employing bums like Ellsbum.

Hack Wilson - real:
Mariano meant a lot more to the team than Posada


same with Jeter
