Imagine a kid born in 2005. He or she likely has no recollection of the Yanks winning in 2009 and likely does have a memory of them barely eking by the Orioles in 2012 only to get clobbered by the Tigers. If the Yanks don't do something in the next five years, those kids are going to be out of high school having no memory whatsoever of the Yanks being relevant. There's obviously a metric shit ton of stuff that can happen between now and then, but it's amusing to speculate.
Much like how a kid born in the mid to late 70s or so would have viewed them during their 1982-1993 drought. I had all my formative years not particularly noticing or caring about the Yankees. If only Hamels and Pedro could have each pulled out a WS victory in 2009 to go with Cliff Lee's two wins...
