Why I hate the Yankees.

I hate the Yankees. I hate them for a couple of reasons. They do generate the most revenue in the league but that is not why I hate them. I hate them for the cheating stealing talent crooks they are.
It started years ago when they had the Kansas City A’s as one of their minor league teams. They actually helped Kansas City get a Major league team. The only problem was because of the money they had they still treated and used Kansas City as one of their minor league teams. The Cleveland Indians had a great young player named Roger Maris. The Yankees coveted him but the Indians would not trade him because they were always in a fight with the Yankees for the pennant. Unfortunately both Kansas City and Cleveland needed money so the Yankees made a secret deal with Kansas City to acquire Roger from Cleveland in a trade for money and players. Kansas City turned around and gave him to the Yankees for more money. The Yankees got their way in the end.
This practice continued throughout the years. Other teams, like Cleveland, had better baseball operations. They scouted better than the Yankees. They taught and trained their players better than the Yankees. They actually had better minor league teams than the Yankees.
The Yankees had something that Cleveland and other small market teams did not have. Money and plenty of it. The Yankees would just wait for Cleveland to develop, train, and season their talent and when that talent starts to produce the Yankees would just buy them.
I have seen Yankee fans come to Cleveland and act like ass holes because they thought they were so much better than the Indians. In many cases they were and are insufferable. As far as I am concerned the Indians have the better franchise and fans. The Yankees just cheat and still they do not win every year. I would never be friends with a person from Ohio that was a Yankee fan. As far as I am concerned they are mentally deficient. Go Tribe. You develop the best players and have the best and most loyal fans. Watching the pre-game ceremonies on opening day brings moisture to my eyes. I would always rather be an Indians fan. The Yankees and their fans suck and that includes a basketball player from Miami named turncoat James. Sorry but that is being kind.
