Good catch B. That bothered me so much that I just edited it – so that it would be correct, now.

They should play it at the stadium. It certainly would beat listening to Cotton Eye Joe at EVERY game. Although, maybe that will stop since Roger Clemens introduced it last season.

I always considered the opening to the radio program the Yankees’ theme song: da-daaaa, da-da-da-DAAA da-da-daaaaa….

Fans who sing Neil Diamond songs should not throw stones.

HA!

Nice work @ LoHud, btw

Dan, really, take a walk. You a little man.

Also, while the Deadball Era site came through with having the lyrics and audio to this song, they aren’t the best spellers in the world:

“Show them today why your (sic) the YANKEES
No other way when your (sic) the YANKEES”

Obviously, that’s “you’re the YANKEES.” Just pointing that out…

Maybe the reason few people know about the Yankee fight song is because it sucks compares to “Meet the Mets”.

Dandy was an ugly sucker. I also vaguely remember him having an altercation with Craig Nettles (I think), and then being banished to the upper deck.

Nick – that’s OK – never too late to catch up on this stuff.

Steve, there are times when I visit your site and I feel like a pretend Yanks fan. This is one of those times.

I didn’t even know there was Yanks fight song. Do I have to give in my Yanks Fan badge to one of the denizens at Piper’s Kilt?
