The New York Yankees are the best baseball team in the world. They have twenty-six World Series Championships; making them a franchise that is always destined for greatness. Of course, there is more to them than hardware. The Yankees are a team that represent the heart and spirit of New York City. They are winners, not because it was given to them, but because they earned it. There are plenty of haters out there (like the Mets and the Red Sox), but they can keep their attitude - we've got one heck of a legacy.
Muck-up The Mets
Only two things in the world annoy me: Sean Hannity and The New York Mets. The Mets have good seasons, but they never have great seasons. They have two World Series championships to The Yankees’ twenty-six. They have a great line-up and they’re supposedly “New York’s Team”… so why do they repeatedly disappoint? Why are The Mets traditionally known at “The Lovable Losers.” Chant “2004” all you want Mets fans, at least The Yankees have consistently been to the playoffs for the last decade. You’re a good team, but let’s not forget who’s the Boss here.
The Red Sox Are The New Evil Empire
It used to be that you could hate Boston because they were just Boston. The Boston Red Sox were formidable underdogs. For 86 years, they were the team you could love to hate because they could never break “The Curse of The Babe.” Then, 2004 happened. Many Yankees fans were happy to let the Red Sox have their glory – they finally won. But soon after, the Red Sox front office started dropping boatloads of cash on free agents. Then, the Patriots became winners, too. Then, the Red Sox won again in 2007. Had it not been for the New York Giants and Super Bowl XLII, I think pandemonium might have broken loose. Boston now has two more World Series championships, tons of spending receipts, and a new level of obnoxiousness from their fans. Meanwhile, The Yankees have faced playoff elimination, championship drought, and bad trade deals. Face it, Red Sox – now, you’re the Evil Empire and we’re the scrappy underdogs… and we still rule.
40 40 Club
6 West 25th Street, New York, NY 10010
Only at a club owned by Jay-Z, one of the biggest living Yankees fans, can you get an amazing experience. By amazing, I of course mean enjoying an order of buffalo wings with a bottle of Dom Perignon. It’s true, check out the menu.

Fresco by Scotto Restaurant
34 E 52nd Street, New York, NY 10022
Reportedly, this is one of George Steinbrenner’s favorite restaurants. The Boss knows how to live right, too: Fresco has been featured on numerous New York-based TV shows and features an extraordinary menu. The Pappardelle looks excellent.

Yankee Clubhouse Shop
245 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036
It’s in the middle of the tourist district, I know – but the inventory and availability makes it very one-stop for any Yankees merchandise you need. Just in case you’re reading this, Kaitlyn, I could always use a Johnny Damon jersey.

Mickey Mantle's Restaurant Sports Bar
42 Central Park S, New York, NY 10019
Kaitlyn, my girlfriend, gets embarrassed that I actually eat here from time-to-time, but I can’t help it. It makes for a great place to catch a game on TV with a burger; and the view of Central Park isn’t bad either.

24 Hour Fitness/Derek Jeter
225 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10010
Derek Jeter is one of greatest Yankees ever. Now, for a “small” fee you can train to look somewhat like him. Maybe it’s not exactly the kind of regiments that Jeter uses, but that really doesn’t stop fans from taking a spin class. My girl and I already have an Equinox membership… that doesn’t mean a guy can’t dream.
Take A Look At What Else Is On Guidespot
The Pride of New York
61*
Directed by die-hard Yankees fan Billy Crystal, this is one of the best films about the team’s history. It focuses on the professional rivalry of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, who both sought to break Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record. Maris did in 1961 and held the record for thirty-seven years.
The Bronx Is Burning
The ESPN film is great, but this book is one of the best reads I’ve ever had. It’s one of the only books I’ve read that not only is about the Yankees, but why they were so important to New York City. Set during the 1977 season amongst urban decay and the summer blackout, the egos of the team almost destroyed the franchise. But the race for a World Series victory united the entire city behind them. The history in it offers some great throwbacks to the seedier days of New York.
The Final All-Star Game
The 2008 All-Star Game will be getting played at Yankee Stadium. It will be the last All-Star Game ever played here when the Yanks move to their new digs next season. It’s going to be a pretty awesome experience – I check Ebay daily for any decent breaks on tickets.
Bomber Blogs
The LoHud Yankee Blog
This blog is maintained by Peter Abraham, who has written about the Yankees extensively. His is the blog I read to get a journalist’s rundown on what’s happening at the games and within the organization. Thank God, I bring my laptop to work.
Behind The Bombers
Phil Sprenza is one of the craziest Yankee fans I’ve ever read about. You can’t, for one minute, doubt how much he loves his team though. Sometimes, I envy him… and then I realize, it’s good to have a life to go with a hobby.
Yankee Stadium
880 River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
Home Sweet Home. I will miss it after the new Yankee Stadium opens next season.

Seeking out Reggie Jackson’s cleats, or Don Mattingly’s jockstrap? What about the box of matches David Wells? You can find it at Grandstand. Check out their website for any bidding wars. I’m telling you right now: stay away from Billy Martin’s private journal – that’s my birthday present.
