The Yankees have peers. Big market teams that has money to burn. The Dodgers, Cubs etc. It's hard to win in baseball. Now, as a Dodgers fan, I've long disliked the Yankees as a concept since many of their championships were won whipping my team's butt. But since I'm a "baseball" fan, I've always admired the players and management. Jeter is one of my all-time favorite players. Mariano Rivera is the most bad-assed baseball player of the past 20 years. The Rangers' Michael Young says it best:
"\"I respect Mo more than anybody in the game. The guy goes out there, gets three outs and shakes (Jorge) Posada's hand. You appreciate someone who respects the game like he does, respects the people he plays with and against, and obviously his results speak for themselves.\—Michael Young wrote:
