Actually, I have intepreted his user name to be anti-Yankee, not that it matters. He raises an interesting point that perhaps goes back to a time when sportsmanship, athleticism, and enjoyment were more important than "win at all costs." Everyone should strive for the best and a championship is an indication of that, but not winning the championship does not mean being a loser, IMO. And I
am a Yankee fan.
Unfortunately, the "win or be a loser" mentality is ingrained in our society and culture. It's not going away in our lifetimes, either.
