You forget that the subject of discussion here is whether the Yankees were/are a "classy" MLB team. Well classy includes good sportsmanship. So essentially what you've been reduced to arguing is that the Yankees are no more unclassy than any other team!

I'm not trying to argue that the Yankees are classy or not. I really don't care. I'm just saying your argument is ridiculous because no one or team in the history of baseball (at least that I can think of) has done what you're suggesting the Yankees should have done.

That though is the subject of contention here.

Had they deserved the moniker "classy", they would have done just that. But they didn't so they're no classier than any other MLB team.

The premise of your argument depends on the Yankees being able to determine a call on the field. Casual fans of baseball will note that umpires make the calls on the field. Welcome to the game. I find it gets more and more enjoyable the more you understand how it’s played.

Yes, almost as enjoyable as debating inconsequential points on discussion forums! Surely you agree.
