Kevin Costner revealed that when they were filming For Love of the Game, then-Yankees owner George Steinbrenner refused to let them use Yankee Stadium because the Yankees lost in the movie.
Kevin Costner: I call up George. He's a legendary guy, difficult guy, and I wasn't certain how I was going to go about doing this, but so much was riding on it.
And so I called him up and I said, "Hello, George."
He goes, "Hello, Kev!"
And I said, "Hi, George."
He goes, "What do you need, Kev?"
And I said, "Well, George, we're not... it sounds like we can't come to Yankee Stadium."
He goes, "That's right!"
And I'm thinking to myself, Where's my dad? I need somebody to help me with this. I don't know what to say to this guy.
I said, "George, but we had a contract."
He goes, "I know that, but I can't let it happen, Kev."
And I said, "All right, George, you want to explain that to me, why?"
He goes, "Well, the Yankees lose."
"The Yankees what?"
"They lose. Can't let that happen, Kev."
@BetUS_MLB Lol organization and upper brass ball washer/dick rider @RealMichaelKay two days ago “there’s no June swoons it’s been maybe two years that Boone has been here” Lolol ok Michael.
@YankeeSource Cam better get something other than a fastball if he wants to avoid more cape Canaveral starts with all those rockets he gave up. Throwing 99 over the plate every pitch isn’t going to get anyone out
The Yankees do this every year with or without their best players. When shit gets bad it snowballs into a prolonged disaster. They have soft leadership and it’s undeniable at this point. Every year there’s some new franchise record for a historically bad stretch. They’re soft
Some fans live in reality and some organization dick riders think telling you “well this isn’t the team that will be in the playoffs” or “they have the second most wins in the AL” like that means shit when you lose 9 out of every 10 games. Wake up morons this team fucking blows.
You need to be mentally prepping yourself for the Yankees to win less than 10 games over the time Judge is out. You need to prepare to score < 3 runs a game. Join me in reality guys. Don’t be caught thinking they can weather this storm.
