So I got into baseball just recently (4 years ago). My favorite team has always been the NY Yankees but to my surprise most of my fellow Dominicans despise them. They prefer Boston. In my family me and 4 others are the only Yankee fans. I have a pretty large family so you can imagine what it feels like when Boston is on top of the Yankees...I get text messages, phone calls making fun etc. When I ask my family members who have been into baseball way longer than I have why they hate the Yankees the answer is always: YANKEES ARE RACIST and don't have many Dominican players. To me this is a load of BS because of all the Dominicans that have played with the team.
Are my missing something here? Was it just recently (past 10 years) that the Yankees started contracting Dominican players?
I don't mean to stir up any kind of heated discussion with this. I just want to get a general understanding around this subject matter :cheeky:
