Summary: Personal Narrative-My Experience At The Yankees

Improved Essays
Now that the season is over, I can talk to guys a bit about my early experiences with Yankees. My first vivid memories of the Yankees, was the 96 Championship.
That was a heck of year. It was the beginning of a new era and new dynasty.
I remember saying to myself, "Joe Torre, are you kidding me"? "That guy has never won anything." Doesn’t he have a losing track record, I said oh my gosh, come on guys, you could do better than that."
Boy was I wrong, he brought the winning way back to Yankees stadium and helped end an 18 year drought for the Yankees.
In addition, to ending the drought Joe Torre; brought with him that, National league style, of playing which was completely awesome.
I wish the Yankees would go back to that kind playing,
