Words cannot express my joy that the Yankee$ opened New ATM $tadium with a loss. May it be the first of many.

bigtime59,
Do you even like a team. If so your probably jealous/mad because your team don't put the money they make from the couple fans they have back into the team.

Yanks,

If memory serves me right, he has season tickets to the borioles. The problem with that team putting money back into the team is that most of the fans are rooting for the visiting team. go to Baltimore when the Yankees play, you will see what I mean!! I do remember the orioles winning a WS, but I think there were dinosaurs on earth then!!!

Joelsabi Yankee fans have always done that. I have been to many games where if a visiting team hit a home run that hurt us. All of a sudden you will hear a chant "THROW IT BACK"

I remember I went to one game and the only hit the other team got was a Home Run. The guy who caught it was one section from me. He was so excited that he caught a Home Run. Then the whole stadium started chanting "Throw it back". He was so excited to catch the ball he didn't want to throw it back. He started refusing to thrw it back. Believe it or not the chant kept going and getting louder at the guy for about another 5 to 6 minutes till he eventually threw it back.

i hear you. i dont think it is a well advertised as at wrigley tho. i have been to games in los angeles and seattle where they have thrown the hr ball back. just wondering about the consistency this occurs. i would think the pressure to throw back the away hr baseball would be as strong at yankee stadium as at wrigley.

Joelsabi I think it happens a lot more then not. From the games I have been too I have heard/seen it done many times. But on tv they don't show it. Usually when it happens the camera men cut to the broadcasters and you don't get to see it happen. I would believe this is for PR purposes they don't want to show on camera the Yankees fans "qoute n qoute" having bad sportsmanship.

In all the Yankees games I have seen on tv only once when someone hit a home run and they cut right to the broadcasters, did I faintly hear in the background audio the chant starting.

I would have kept the ball and pretended I dont speak english. Besides Sizemore is a Yankee in 2011.
