Bullnbear,
Now I could call Manny a jerk but you know what? I'd be right.
Yes, you would, but it doesn't change my opinion of the brawl inducing yankee catcher of the 70's. It also is irrelevent as to whether he is currently dead or alive. He was a jerk while he was alive.
Why is this personal? Are you Mrs. Munson?
My dislike of the Yankees is primarily because of Mr. Munson and the teammates he had at the time. Rivers, Jackson, Billy Martin, Steinbrenner, Hunter, Nettles, Chambliss, pretty much the whole team. Before them, I had respect for what the Yankees had accomplished in the past.
BTW, I don't need facts for an opinion. I need facts if I am discussing facts. Even when I induced Mr. or Mrs. 26 into stating the facts I meant I was pillaged by you and your buddies.
When they (the 70's yanks) couldn't win they fought. I see some of that mentality on the boards today.
