Yankees represent baseball's glory years
Derek Jeter summed it up best
after the New York Yankees com
pleted the sweep of the Atlanta
Braves this past Wednesday. "It's
a team that knows how to win."
He was speaking for this year's
World Series Championship team.
But that statement speaks volumes
for the New York Yankee organi
zation, from the days of Ruth and
Gehrig, through the years of
DiMaggio and now the run of what
should be called the greatest all
around baseball team in history.
The Yankees have always known
how to win.
Commissioner Bud Selig could
finally call the New York Yankees
the "team of the decade." The
team of the decade!? What an in
justice! The Yankees are the "team
of the century." Twenty-five
World Series Championships is
unprecedented. In fact, the closest

any other team is to that, are the Phila
delphia/Oakland A's and the St. Louis
Cardinals who have both won nine. If
you were to combine the champion
ships of such storied teams as the Ath
letics, Dodgers: Red Sox and Giants,
you would then equal the 25 champi
onships of the Yankees.
Baseball fans always get excited

Cardinals, Athletics, Dodgers and Ti
gers have breakthrough seasons, be
cause these are teams that represent
the good old days of baseball. That is
why a team as consistent as the Yan
kees can represent baseball. The pin
stripes are forever. They always have
represented greatness and they always
will.
Watching these Yankees celebrate
again and listening to Bob Costas
reminisce about the days of old Yan
kee pride made it seem like it was
baseball again. All those stories you
hear of days and nights spent at the
sandlot. All those legendary players
you hear about. All the roles that the
sport of baseball played in society. It
all began to make sense to me. It is
unfortunate that baseball seems to be
dying. Those good old days just seem
so traditional, that losing them would
be a huge injustice for the kids of the
next generation.

With everything being measured in
reference to the end of this century,
we can say that this century ended
with the "team of the century" show
ing its pride. A type of pride that no
one can really understand until
they've worn the legendary pin
stripes. You hear players that join the
Yankee team tell you about how it

feels to be a Yankee. When they put
that Yankee uniform on, they know
losing is not an option. It never has
been.
No matter how close this series
against the Braves should have been,
or how dominant the Yankees proved
to be, baseball ended this century
with those "damn Yankees" on top
once again.
This conclusion to baseball this
century has to be seen as a memo
rable moment in baseball history.
Because at the end of the next cen
tury, we can only imagine where
sports will be. what they've gone
through and where they will be
headed. But we do know that base
ball was the sport of our century. It
is America's Pastime.
Maybe baseball isn't exactly what
it used to be, but we can at least hear
the stories and watch the tapes. We

can athletics in the 1900 s were ex
emplified by baseball. But maybe the
next 100 years wont belong to base
ball. What if the only thing future
sports' fans hear about involving
baseball, are the glory years hack in
the I 900 s. These moments will he
as "old school" as you can get. But
we can at least say that baseball ended
its glorious century '. ith its glorious
team on top again.
When we are looked hack upon. we
can be proud to have a team called
the New York Yankees represent us.
They represent our culture. And I
would put the mystique and the tra
dition of the Yankees against any fu
ture dynasty that this world has-to
offer. •
Yankee Clipper Joe DiMaggio said
it best when he told the world, "Thank
the good Lord for making me a Yan
kee." I say. "Thank the gaud Lord
for letting me witness them."
