The atmosphere surrounding the Yankees has shifted from celebration to frustration, with fans voicing dissatisfaction over leadership and team performance. Old-Timers' Day brought back former players who highlighted the team's need for a tougher mentality. Jorge Posada emphasized the importance of attitude, stating that players should play with anger and not seek friendship on the field. Joe Torre expressed sympathy for Aaron Boone's challenges, while Willie Randolph pointed out that opposing teams no longer feel intimidated at Yankee Stadium. It is clear that a return to the grit of past Yankees teams is sought by many.
"It's just more of an attitude than anything. They gotta get a little angry. They need to have a chip on their shoulder. You can't be friends with everybody."
"I feel for Aaron Boone. I've been in that place where you're trying to rearrange the furniture and hopefully it makes a difference."
"Teams are not afraid of us anymore. We need to get that mojo back where they come to Yankee Stadium and they know they're gonna be in for a tough time."
