World Series

Nick Johnson is once again a Yankee, if the reports are right .

As a Yankee fan, I should be happy. In 2001 he pulled off a brilliant catch from first base that sticks in my mind. He's not a horrible hitter (lifetime .273 hitter).

He's seen as being the 'next Johnny Damon' in that he'll provide a bat to cover Alex Rodriguez and play DH for 100-odd games.

But taking over from Hideki Matsui, one wonders if the New York Yankees did the right thing.

Come on now, this is getting a little ridiculous.

A year after acquiring the high-priced trio of C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and A.J. Burnett, and a couple of weeks after trading for spark plug Curtis Granderson, the New York Yankees have added Javier Vazquez -- a quality right-handed starter -- to their already loaded roster.

And all they had to give up was Melky Cabrera and a couple of prospects?

Jeez. Why do I have to be a Mets fan?

The World Series is one of the most important sporting events of the year, and touts a longer history than any other major American sports championship. The 2000's have been a tumultuous decade for Major League Baseball, with the steroids controversy, Barry Bonds and the third major home run chase, and serious Red Sox-Yankees over saturation. With the decade coming to an end, here's a look back at each World Series over the past 10 years, from worst to first. Today we chronicle #10--#6.

Out of every sport, baseball is the one I go furthest back with.

I come from a family who takes their sports very seriously. I'm from a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. I'm a Red Wings, Tigers, Lions, Pistons, and University of Michigan fan.

By reading off that list alone, you can venture to guess that the past several years—with the exception of a Red Wings Stanley Cup two years ago—ave not been the best to be a fan of those teams.
