Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

seawolf17 Jun 06 2011 06:03 PM

Let's separate ourselves from our Yankees enmity for just a minute. Ceetar brings up a neat question: Ceetar wrote: You know, (Doncha know?) Cano is the first name I thought of. I then sat there for 15 seconds trying to figure if I was going to buy a Yankee jersey, which one would I buy? Not Tex, obviously not Jeter. I might go A-Rod just for the legendary aspect of it. No one else really appeals. Maybe Hughes if he was pitching. Swisher is cool but I don't see him remaining a Yankee for long. Let's say, for the sake of argument, you were invited to a "Yankees Party" where everyone was going to be offered a jersey of one Yankee, any Yankee. Who would you choose, and why?

Lou Gehrig. I can't really think of anything bad about Lou Gehrig.

This one

current roster is hard to pick from , certainly not Cano , the guy is beyond arrogant and it's going to cost his team in a big game one day. I'd choose Gardner , he seems OK for a yankee,seems an honest player who plays hard each at bat, all time I would go with Berra.

Reggie's 44, or something flammable.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 06 2011 07:19 PM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

I'd ask Rogers to loan me the one he wasn't wearing.

Tino is my all-time fave MFY (for obvious reasons).

Fritz Peterson

If not Kekich... I've never minded Sparky Lyle. Though... is it authentic? I wouldn't mind enjoying some chili in a gen-yoo-ine Ruth or Mantle.

Ceetar Jun 06 2011 07:42 PM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

If i'm going current, I think I'd end up getting A-Rod just because he's clearly the best player on the team. (historically anyway)

You wouldn't know which one I'd be wearing because I'd be wearing it like a sumo diaper.

Sabathia may have been my favorite non-Met before he signed with the Yanks. That stretch he had in 2008 to put the Brewers in the playoffs was incredible. Wish they could've afforded to keep him, he was a great fit for that team, but I really don't begrudge the guy for chasing the cash. He deserves it. Granderson's also a lot of fun to watch, and seems like a genuine good guy from what I've read of him. (First time I've posted here in an eternity, and it's to talk about Yankees. I don't get it either.)

Benjamin Grimm Jun 06 2011 08:42 PM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

Yogi Berra or Casey Stengel. I'd never wear it, of course.

And fewer Visigoths.

I've always been a big Dante Bichette Junior fan.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 06 2011 09:01 PM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

Can I go with Dandy?

Jabba the Hut Chamberlain. My tent needs replacing and one of his jerseys should easily house my family of four for any outdoor camping trip.

TheOldMole Jun 06 2011 11:31 PM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

Mickey Rivers.

Whichever's most flammable, for fuck's sake. But otherwise, Jim Bouton.

bmfc1 Jun 07 2011 05:33 AM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

Bouton's a great choice but I'd go with the Babe. The greatest player of all-time not named Derek Jeter.

G-Fafif Jun 07 2011 05:42 AM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

If they had names on the back, Spec Shea.

G-Fafif Jun 07 2011 05:43 AM Re: Which Yankee Jersey Would You Get?

Though I have to say this is the creepiest party I've ever heard of, not counting the tea party.

Wait, this is a real party? Not some sort of cruel joke? I've got an idea. If you've got friends who insist on holding this type of party, you either A. Tell them they're stupid; and/or B. Politely decline to go and/or C. Reconsider your friendship.

No, it was spawned from the idea that if the Mets were to trade Reyes and sign Rollins, that's coming real close to the breaking point that would get me thinking about buying a Cano jersey.
