Let me tell you something: I love the Yankees. And let me tell you why: because without the Yankees, there is nobody to hate.

People grow up loving the Yankees and will tell you, and so many people despise the Yankees, and they come from all over the United States.

Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax.

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

I've been a Yankees fan since I was six.

I grew up an Indians fan my entire life. I was never really 'against' the Yankees, but I knew what they were capable of.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.

I think the Cowboys are one of only two teams in all of sports that engender love and hate to that extreme. The other is the Yankees. You love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees.
