There’s a Yankee story
you’re accustomed to hearing.
The iconic Hall of Famers,
the 27 championships,
the dynasty.
Well, this is not that Yankee story.
This is the one they don’t want you to hear.
I’ve been trying to forget that team.
Ooh, the 1990 Yankees.
New Yorkers don’t like to lose.
It was rock bottom.
A horror show, a laughingstock.
They’d throw a no-hitter and lose!
George Steinbrenner loved the tabloids.
I don’t think he’s been good for baseball.
I don’t think he’s been good for the Yankees.
You don’t like it? You’re fired!
Steinbrenner hated Winfield
from the day he signed the contract.
It’s negative, it’s garbage.
And there was so much buzz
when Deion got to the Yankees.
Let’s see how you play
and then you call yourself “Prime Time”.
How about that?
There was a ballplayer who brought
live cougars into the clubhouse.
One of them took a piss on the carpet.
Cougars! Where do you find cougars
in New York?
I was in a relationship with Mel Hall
at the age of 15.
Are you kidding me?
How was that acceptable?
Mel, how many years are you serving here?
Forty.
George Steinbrenner was
the most hated man in baseball.
His desperation led to Howie Spira.
I bet millions of dollars with organized crime.
I did more for the New York Yankees
than anybody who’s ever
picked up a baseball bat.
We know that a dynasty somehow rose
from this debacle
but it was a long, bumpy road to get there.
This is insane!
It really was the Bronx Zoo!
