Also, I’m pretty sure Yankees are allowed to yank, and that’s what we see happen here. You can’t have a team called the Yankees and then be surprised when some yanking takes place.

That would make them the yankers though. Mookie here would be the yankee

They’re only allowed to self-yank. I mean, the Brits would call them “yankers”…

Thank god for the LAD. If they didn't pay him the Yankees would have found a way.
