As The Yankees Have Been "Rained Out", An Interesting Story Session On "Mike & The Mad Dog" On WFAN

Funny, as I'm here in Lower Manhattan, it may be a cloudy, cool & damp, but it's NOT raining. A check of Weather Maps confirm this. There is rain, north of NYC, though:

The Yankees, you see, until the Run from 1995 in Post-Season until now, have drawn the Crowds, but this used to be NOT the case at all;

They were under a Million, in 1969, when the Mets drew 2.5 Million;

Mike Francessa told this story where there were no more than 500 @ a Game In September of 1972. He caught balls in the stands all over the place;

The Yankees only drew on Special Giveaway Days, like Cap Day, Ball Day & Bat Day;

They had a # of Small Attendances @ Opening Day, in the Old Stadium, Venerable, but an aging dump;

The Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry did not draw well in The Bronx in the 1960s' & 1970s';

There was some resurrection of The Rivalry, in The Shea Stadium Years;

Even in the Newly Renovated Stadium, crowds were only good if the Yankees were good;

If they're not good in the next couple of years, attendance will drop, because History says that Yankees Fans only come when there's a Pennant on the Line;

History will repeat itself, trust me;

Their Opener is Tomorrow Night;
