As Robinson's retired number has been changed (it basically looks the same as the other numbers now, but without pinstripes), the graphic on the page should probably be updated. Thoughts? Brad E. Williams (talk) 14:16, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the section 1982-1995 era of Mattingly, there are several mentions that 1994 is one of the worst years of New York sports history and I must take exception to that claim. I realize that the comments are sourced, but in 1994 the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup -- ending a 54 year drought and elating an otherwise very depressed New York City. During the early 90s, the Rangers were very competitive and very popular in town. Furthermore, as the Rangers were going after the cup that year, the NY Knicks were on the brink of winning the NBA finals. While the Rangers won their league's championship, the Knicks fell short at the end. Regardless, the Knicks going on their run at the same time as the Rangers was a very very exciting time, and June was a wild and spectacular month for New York sports for these reasons.
I only mention this because I think to say it was the worst year for NY sports is at the least very misleading (I'd go as far as saying completely wrong). It could have been the worst year for NY Yankees sports history or baseball sports history, but the Rangers winning the championship that year really gave a huge morale boost to the city in a time where happiness was almost non-existent. I propose rephrasing those clauses to clarify those claims because as a life long New Yorker, I know that wasn't true. -Novaprospekt (talk) 02:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yankees Suck Image in Criticism Section
This is completely inappropriate for this article and should be deleted. If nothing else, there are no sources, nevermind reliable sources to back up what is said. On that note, do we have these same sections in other articles, or is this a case of someone who's not a fan of the team with an agenda? Oh wait- I should be assuming good faith. Source it, reliably, and not with something from a Red Sox blogger. Kjscotte34 (talk) 11:10, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Most Successful Team in North America
In this article, it states that the Yankees are the most successful professional sports team in North America with 27 World Series titles. However, according to Wikipedia,Club Deportivo Saprissa (A soccer team in Costa Rica) has won 29 titles, making them the most successful team in North America.
