Being a Yankee Fan has literally never been difficult.

You guys are in 2nd place? Stop crying like the season is over and whining like it’s actually painful to be a fan. Here are some facts:

Over the past 25 years, the Yankees have the highest winning percentage in all of baseball. The Yankees have not finished with a losing record since 1992. The Yankees have made the playoffs in 20 of the last 25 seasons and have won 3 World Series titles in that time.

I imagine a 15 year stretch without a championship appearance can seem awful when the average aged Yankee fan (40 y/o) can remember watching 7 and winning 5. But even during this stretch, the Yankees have appeared in the playoffs, which is more than any other team except the Dodgers.

It’s not misery to see your team in the playoff almost every single year. Is it disappointing that they haven’t gotten it done lately? Yeah probably. Can you expect to see the Yankees regularly make the playoffs and collect another WS win in your lifetime? Most definitely.

Yankee fans need to shut up.
