Typical New Yorkers.

Fans' treatment of Cliff Lee's wife at Yankee Stadium might not help recruitment of one of the game's top left-handed pitchers. During the AL Championship Series games in New York between the Yankees and Rangers, fans were extremely rude to Kristen Lee, spitting and throwing beer in her direction and shouting obscenities, according to USA Today.  Lee starts Game 1 of the World Series against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday after helping Texas beat New York in the ALCS in six games. But there has been widespread speculation that the Yankees will make a serious run at signing Lee when he becomes a free agent after the season. The reported incidents could not have helped that cause. "The fans did not do good things in my heart," Kristen Lee said, according to the newspaper. "When people are staring at you, and saying horrible things, it's hard not to take it personal."

Yankee fans are the worst. The absolute worst and now it seems they're a little stupid,  too. Just look at the history of free agents signing with the Yankees and it usually has had something to do with the wifey wanting to move to New York. Texeira's wife wanted New York over Boston and Damon's wife was a stripper who thrived in the NY spotlight. Make no mistake about it, baseball wive's wear the pants in every relationship, so the fans may have thought they were threatening Lee's wife but they were really talking to Cliff because at the end of the day she's making the decision. And let's not forget about the bravery the Yankee fans showed here. Taunting a woman? Really? That's the best you can do? I've always said you don't talk shit to a female or anyone under the age of 15. Cardinal rules of mixing it up.
