Alright, I've come up with the matchups (used winning percentage, NYF, I didn't get yours since I can't see your profile, so I'm putting you at 8th) and prelimnary topics; please feel free to add your own at the bottom. The higher seed picks the argument, the lower seed starts the TD. We'll re-seed after each round so there's a "new" ranking system afterwards. Here are the matchups:
#1 Porkins vs. #8 NEWYORKFAN17
#2 RStowe vs #7 Yankee Empire
#3 thejetstolehome vs #6 Blue Hackett 45
#4 dyhard vs #5 DWade
Some topics to consider, please add your own if you feel it necessary:
1. Best Yankee team, excluding 1927 and 1998
2. All DH Era (1972 on) Yankees team (so no Ruth, Mantle, Joe D, etc.)
3. Best Yankee team to NOT win a World Series
4. Who, excluding Babe Ruth, was/is the "most important" Yankee?
From Porkins:
Top 5 Yankee pitchers all-time
Top 5 players to play their entire career as Yankees
Top 5 WORST Yankees starting offensive players (can't be platoon)
There are some to start with, please add your own (hi, I'm a broken record) if you like. Good luck guys! Let's try to start these in a timely manner.
