Enough with the curtain calls Yankee fans. You're making a mockery out of something that used to have some sort of meaning. Take last night for instance. Johnny Damon hits a ball 315 feet in the 7th inning that barely makes it out of the ballpark. So what does he get for giving his team a two run lead? A curtain call. You've got to be kidding me. Did you forget how an inning earlier he mistimed his jump on a ball that he probably should have caught? Instead it wound up in the front row of the left field bleachers and allowed the Sox to tie the game up. It's not like it was Damon's third home run of the game or a milestone home run in his career. It was his 8th home run of the season (By the way, aren't Sox fans happy that management didn't sign him up for another four years?). But you're guilty of this all the time. I think Yankee Stadium has set a record this year for the number of curtain calls given over the course of a season. Why don't you just ask for a curtain call every time a Yankee hits the ball out of the infield? Or what about every time ARod catches a ball in foul territory? Maybe it's not even the Yankees fans who are asking for the curtain call. May be it's the players who just feel like they should give one. It wouldn't surprise me considering you have three of the largest egos in the game in ARod, Clemens and Damon.
Give it up Yankees fans and players. Because not only is it annoying, but you've taken away the significance of a tradition that used to mean something.
