Deadspin Leitch's dead spin on the Myth of the True Yankee.
"The only True Yankee is a winning Yankee: It's one that reaches that elusive ideal that is demanded. It's a reason for the rest of baseball to hate the Yankees, and a reason for fans to take pride in their exceptionalism."
He is a fool.

Alex Rodriguez qualifies on at least 9 of the 10. As for the 10th...or, rather, the 8th...well, maybe he's working on it.
Of course, now that he HAS won a World Series -- and been an integral, not just spare, along-for-the-ride, part of it -- nobody can doubt he is a True Yankee.
Now, if we can turn our attention to Los Angeles, the Curse of Donnie Baseball remains in effect. Or maybe Joe Torre just needs to say goodbye to Scott Proctor for once and for all.
