"Don’t make Reyes pay because of Jason Bay."

A life-long Yankee fan offering great advice on why the Mets should keep Jose Reyes and an honest assessment of Yankee fans:

"Maybe as much as a third of the Yankees’ fan base are front-running, J.Crew, wine-and-cheese chumps who only go to games because it’s trendy and daddy can afford the ticket. None of them can name a game or a player prior to 1996. Ask who Ron Hassey is and they will likely say a senator from Indiana."

This is very true. In fact, I had to remind a Yankee fan friend of mine who Mel Hall was. In his defense though, he was only 13 years old when Hall hit that home run in Minnesota when he took half a minute to round the bases.
