My non-fascination with baseball is not exactly a secret (baseball is long and boring). With that said, thank goodness for the Yankees.
Many people claim to despise the Yankees. Rubbish. Whether you like them or hate them, they are far and away the most interesting thing about baseball and they are the team everyone wants to watch (other than your favorite team that is).
There are many reasons for this, with an unparalleled history of excellence being chief amongst them. Add in one of the more likable guys in sports, Derek Jeter (people have to make up ways to hate on him) and the drama that comes with A-Rod in the playoffs (A-Rod might be the only guy in the sport who makes you stop to watch what he is doing. He is just an interesting character), and you have the reason to tune into the MLB postseason.
If you don’t believe me, check the ratings. Planet Earth is a better place when the Yankees are good.
