But I still say you get a fairly good player and put him pinstripes and all of a sudden he is a great player. I think it is the Yankees attitude. I can't say New York attitude because then it would include the Mets.
I am a long time Braves fan. It has killed me over the years to see them do so good in the regular season and then choke when it came to the big games. Their only series win in Atlanta was against the Indians.
A quick story:
I was living in Winter Park Florida at that time. In the winter after that series on one evening I was standing in line at Blockbuster waiting to rent my video. I had on a Braves sweatshirt. In front of me on line was a tall thin guy with glasses. He turned around and I said to him "has anyone ever told you that you look like a pitcher for the Indians by the name of Orel Hershiser?" His response was "that's me". We spoke for a few minutes and he was a real gentleman. He was renting a house in Winter Park while his house at a private golfing community was being completed.
