One of the reasons for starting the blog was to make the posting of sent in stories a bit easier. So here are a few of the recent ones as they were sent to me - so excuse any misspellings :)

OK, so I was at Angel Stadium during an Angels-Yankees
playoff game in '05. Everybody down there HATED the Yankees with a passion.
This one Yanks fan got arrested after throwing beer at Garret Anderson.
So, here's the main story. Alex Rodriguez was batting, and at first,
the crowd was silenced. Then the marquee brought up that A-Rod gets paid
1200 bucks FOR STRIKING OUT!!! At that point, the fans were livid with
his (A-Rod's ) pompous attitude. The crowd was roaringly chanting
"OVERRATED!OVERRATED!" Then when Bernie Williams came up, the fans chanted "
Jelly belly! Jelly belly!" then, of course, there was the ever-classic
"YANKEES SUCK! YANKEES SUCK!" That was the most hilarious ballgame
ever!!!

(This one only works for batters with a 2.0 or lower batting
average) "Hey...My blood/aclohol content is higher than your batting
average!"

Years ago when the Yankees had Dave Winfield in rightfield
and Ricky Henderson in center, we were giving him "what for" for not
running fast enough to a foul that land IN the stadium. To be honest, he
took it well!!

Then he dropped a ball in the game. Again he took the clean heckling
well.

In between innings I yelled to him ... "Hey Dave, after the next
inning, how about helping me with an autograph?" He actually replied "You
really want me to give you an autograph after the razzin' you've given me
all night?"

"No, I want you to take this ball over to Ricky and get his autograph
for me!!!"

He gave me a big smile, took off his hat and bowed!! CLASSY GUY!
